Customer question:
What helps with inflamed eyes? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
For sore eyes, several home remedies can help:
- Cold compresses: Apply a cold compress to closed eyes to reduce swelling and soothe inflammation.
- Eye drops: Eye drops are available at drugstores, which often help with dry eyes or mild inflammation. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
- Clean water: If the inflammation is caused by irritation from impurities or allergens, you can rinse your eyes with clean, cold water.
- Eye rest: reduce your time in front of screens (computer, phone) and take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
- Warm compresses: If the inflammation is caused by blocked glands, a warm compress can open the pores and reduce the swelling.
- Avoidance of allergens: If the inflammation is due to an allergic reaction, avoid contact with allergens such as pollen, dust, or animal dander.
If eye inflammation persists or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical advice, mainly if additional symptoms such as severe pain, photophobia (sensitivity to light), or blurred vision occur. Symptoms of inflamed eyes usually improve within a few days with proper home treatment. The key is strictly following the instructions for cold compresses, eye drops, or other recommended methods.
