Is Dry Eyes An Adverse Effect Of Smoking Shisha?
Hello Doctor,I am 21, had never had problems with eyes. I recently started smoking shisha a lot, and noticed that I have red eyes. Particularly on the left eye, left side, I have red irritation. I feel discomfort while reading or watching TV, and when I use the eye drops it gives me a relief from itching for a few minutes. Can it be caused by shisha? and can it be the dry eye syndrome?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if this is narcotic group of drug then such symptoms is just possible or even if this not narcotic drug then also it is not advisable to smoke, in my opinion better to have a opinion from the ophthalmologist, take care and have a nice day.
