Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Dear Zupy, Hi,From your history I believe you are sensitive to sunlight.If that is so, you may be suffering from sun allergy in your eyes.Too mush of heat and dust may cause allergic reaction if you are sensitive to it which may cause redness swelling and itching. Use some ice packs and tear substitute along with anti-allergic eye drops. If it is not subsiding in a day or two there are high chances you may be suffering from early viral/ bacterial conjunctivitis.Look out for any discharge and if its there visit your nearest ophthalmologist....TC..Dr Ajay Shankar kar
