Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having irritation of the eyes, burning sensation, mucous strings..., all these symptoms indicate probable allergic etiology.
This requires treatment by the use of anti-allergic eye drops and taking care to avoid the allergen if possible.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
