Suggest Treatment For Severe Eye Pain
Hello doctor, i think i scratched or poked my eye earlier today and although its not too painful it keeps watering around the outer corner which is very annoying. Is there anything i can do as im going out and my makeup keeps getting ruined. Thank you

Hello there,
There could be a possibility of minor abrasions in the eye which could be the cause of the discomfort. If its just small superficial scratches it will heal in a days time with artificial tears such as lacrygel. Antibiotic eye drops can be used for 3 days as a precautionary measure. If it persists do consult your doctor.
Hope this was helpful.
Thankyou.
