Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have recurrent eye redness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query allergic reaction ,dry weather ,dust , or infection. Sometimes dryness of eyes , which can be caused by working on computer for long time , irritation due to contact lenses and some cosmetic product can also be the reason . I would suggest you to rest your eyes , wash them with cold water , don't touch then with dirty hands ,give warm compresses to eyes take antihistamine like benadryl . If symptoms persist then consult ophthalmologist for proper clinical examination . Doctor may prescribe steroid and ofloxacin eye drops along with anti allergic medicine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
