Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

Redness and irritation in the eyes could occur due to various causes.

Long duration of irritation of the eye is caused by allergic conjunctivitis or dry eyes. The treatment is by use of anti-allergic eye drops or artificial tears eye drops.

Sudden onset of irritation of the eyes with redness or discharge is caused by infective conjunctivitis and it is treated by use of antibiotic eye drops.

Non specific irritation of the eyes is caused by exposure to dust, smoke, over use of computer/TV. The treatment is by use of decongestant eye drops and artificial tears eye drops.

But I will need some more information, so that I can answer your question to fix the problem more accurately.

So,Please do reply to below questions,

What is the duration of redness or irritation?
Do you watering, discharge, itching of the eyes?

Awaiting response.
