What is the best medicine for right eye irritation and frequent pain?

Dear Ms. Lakshmi,

Frequent irritation and pain in the right eye can be caused by several factors, such as dry eyes, allergic reactions, conjunctivitis (eye infection), or even foreign particles in the eye. Sometimes, prolonged screen exposure, inadequate sleep, or environmental irritants like dust and pollution may also contribute.

🔎 General advice:

• Rinse your eyes gently with clean water.

• Limit screen time and get adequate rest.

• Wear protective eyewear (like sunglasses) in dusty or polluted environments.

• Avoid using over-the-counter eye drops without a proper medical evaluation.

👨‍⚕️ Note: Since your symptoms are recurring, it’s important to undergo an in-person eye examination. Recommending specific medicines without evaluating the eye can be unsafe and may not address the root cause.

We recommend that you consult an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) at the earliest. 

Take care of your eyes! 👁️
