Best Doctors for Red Eye Treatment in Kurnool

Red eye is a general term for a situation where the white portion of the eye becomes red or congested. This can occur for many reasons, such as irritation from dust, fumes and allergens, infections or conjunctivitis and eye strain. This condition can also be sparked off by more severe conditions like glaucoma or a burst blood vessel. Some conditions may present themselves by invading the affected area and causing redness, itching, swelling and even tearing. At times, there could be inflammation or sometimes a discharge from the affected area. Management of the condition depends on the nature of the underlying cause. Mild forms can be brought about by irritations of the eyes or allergic reactions, and these can be treated with lubricating eyes drops or antihistamines. If red eye is as result of infection, the doctor may use antibiotic eye drops to treat the condition. A visit to the ophthalmologist should be made if the redness is painful, changes or if the condition has not responded to topical medications. It is possible to prevent red eye if you practice good eye hygiene, keep away from allergens, and take breaks from computer screens. Daily eye check-ups are also important regarding the health of eyes.
