It seems from the history that your husband is having cold with redness and irritation of the eye.
Cold is usually associated with infection of the eye in the form of conjunctivitis or simple reactionary hyperaemia of the eye.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops, artificial tears and decongestant eye drops.
I usually use antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drops and artificial tears like Refresh tears eye drops.
Along with the eye drops he requires treatment for cold by the use of anticold drugs.
