Red Color In Eyes, Swollen Inside Corner Of Eye. Undergone Laser Surgery, Using Eye Drops. Cure For Symptoms?

hi, my eye has suddenly gone red, and the inside corner (at the top) has become swollen. Have you any idea what could be causing this? I am a bit worried because I recently (on the first of this month) had laser eye surgery (and a currently using 'tears' eyedrops following this)
Is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms? Thanks!

Hello

It appears that you are suffering from conjunctivitis in your eye. You should use anti-biotic eye drops 2 hourly and an anti biotic ointment at night. Depending upon severity of pain, you can take some analgesics orally as and when required.

This should relive you in about 48 hours or else you should visit an eye specialist to find the real cause.

Regards
