A member asked:

Inner corner eye is red, slightly swollen. had pooling of tears. applied compress and gentamicin. pooling gone. bit of yellow/green discharge. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Conjunctivitis: Continue the gentamicin if it is helping. Sounds like bacterial conjunctivitis. The tearing was probably due to a partial naso lacrimal duct obstruction from discharge or inflamation.
