What are the signs & symptoms of eye problems?
Hello! I am a 24 year old girl and I have been facing severe itching and redness in my eyes for the past 2 days. I wear contact lenses and I suspect that this might have happened because of it. I generally keep my contact lenses in the solution they give and I follow the instructions before wearing them. I don’t know if this problem will ever go. What can be the probable eye problem symptoms and when should I go to the doctor? Will this pass or will it be really serious? Please help me!!

For all above conditions you may use antiallergic eye drops e.g. olopatadine and lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 2to3 times daily and rub ocupol d's eye oint twice daily on lids.
