A member asked:

How do i treat dry and red eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lubricants: There are many over the counter tear replacement and lubrication drops and ointments. As long as your vision is fine, there is no pus and no pain, you can try these for a while and need to see an ophthalmologist only if the condition persists.
