How To Treat Eye Infection?

Hi. It's Utah's Pioneer day and all doctor's offices are closed. I have an eye infection and I am wondering if I should go to an Instacare or if it can wait until tomorrow. My right eye is very red right around the colored part. It is slightly light sensitive. The eye itself is sore and moving it really hurts.

Redness pain on moving, photo sensitive. as you have not in formed about itching discharge or visual prob lem. Itake it as normal. Invol ment of other eye is not given By next day bacterial and allergy will be bilateral. So you can start an antibiotic eye drop like ofloxacin .3% 6hourly. You can apply neosporine eye commitment at bed time. Next day morning Treatment and diagnosis will change according to presenting symptom. Bilateral involvement itching, watery dis charge, thick discharge will change the diagnosis and treatment.
