Need help with son's eye condition
Redness on sides of eyes. Itchy intermittently. It started like 2 months back when redness was in one eye. Then it got better in that eye but showed up in the other eye. Opthamalogist mentioned it may be allergy and started with steroid drops for 2 weeks and then allergy and tear drops for 3 weeks. But the itchy and slight redness is coming back in the evenings or inbetween. Then went to another opthamalogist and there meibogrphy was done and identified dryness. That doctor gave (tobramycin for 10 days and tear drops. He is on still on tear drops but I can see that redness or itchy eyes coming back atleast one time in a day like in the evening or afternoons. What can be done for this. What's the next step. How long the tear drops can go on? Is it even safe. Need help

Hello mam/sir, Allergy takes time to go..more he will rub his eyes more symptoms will aggravate Please avoid eye rubbing and do cold compresses with ice wrapped in cotton cloth and on closed eyes Secondly, tear drops are safe to use but we need to figure out what is causing allergy like dust/heat/change in weather One pic will help us to identify the eye condition and advise proper treatment
Next Steps
U can continue tear drops with cold compresses If no improvement,please consult paediatric ophthalmologist
