Question
I’ve recently noticed redness and swelling in the corner of my eye, along with slight pain. What could be the possible causes of redness?
Answer
Based on the description, it’s possible you may have conjunctivitis, a condition often caused by overuse of the eyes or contact with contaminants. It’s advisable to take the following precautions: wash your face with running water, avoid sharing personal hygiene items, frequently wash your hands, steer clear of public swimming pools, protect uninfected eyes from infection, and reduce exposure to wind, dust, and smoke in your work environment.
