Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having redness of the eye associated with pain and sensitivity to light.
These symptoms indicate probable keratoconjunctivitis or conjunctivitis.
I usually treat these conditions with antibiotic eye drops like ciprofloxacin and artificial tears.
If possible do send a photo of the eye so that I can answer your question more accurately. I would also like to know whether you are having associated symptoms like watering or discharge from the eye.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards

It is not a serious condition, but it requires treatment to prevent complications like corneal ulcer which can cause dimunition of vision.
But with treatment no problems will occur, hence no need to worry. But need to start treatment early.
