Eye redness and strain post chickenpox
Hi,
I had chicken pox starting 4 weeks ago. I have healed from it. 3 weeks ago when I had active blisters I had a mild redness in my left eye with no vision disturbances. 2 weeks back I still had the redness along with some strain when I read/look at my mobile phone. I went to an ophthalmologist who tested and told me that the discomfort is due to the healed blisters inside of my eye. He has prescribed a lubricant for a period of 3 months. I still have the same discomfort stated above. Should I be concerned about this or will all of this resolve automatically?

Dryness can last for quite some time as the mucous producing cells are destroyed due to the exanthematous blisters. You may have to continue with the lubricating drops indefinitely.
