Instant Cure For Painful, Sore and Itchy Eyes

There are many different symptoms you will encounter if you are suffering from sore eyes. Signs and symptoms generally peak within 3-4 days and last up to 14 days. These symptoms include:

Redness of the eyes

Discomfort

Burning

Gritty sensation

Photophobia (sensitivity to light)

Pain

Difficulty opening eyes after sleeping

Eyelids stuck together after sleeping

Water-like discharge

Soreness

Other signs and symptoms that are accompanied by the sore eyes include:

Runny nose

Sore throat

Lymph glands are sore (lymph glands are your body’s defensive filter, they are located behind the ears)

                      

There are numerous things you can do to prevent sore eyes from occurring. Washing your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water is a great start. Avoid touching your eyes and face when you haven’t washed your hands. Do not share towels, eyeglasses, sunglasses, or make-up/cosmetics, as this may only lead to transfer of an infection. 

                                

                      

If you have had symptoms of sore eyes, and have been using any cosmetics, especially ones that are applied to your eyes or in the area of your eye, it’s best to discontinue and discard those products. Purchase new cosmetics and wait until the condition has been treated successfully before resuming use. Disinfect surfaces, especially common ones such as door knobs, counters, and other surfaces with diluted bleach solutions. Bleach is known to kill germs and prevent their spread. 

Your doctor will probably mention this to you, but be careful that the tips of eye drops or ointments do not touch the eyes or eyelashes while using them. This goes for all types of eye drops and ointments, not just the one your doctor prescribes to you.

                                

If you are not the one infected, but someone close is, make sure to disinfect and wash all surfaces, clothes, towels, pillow cases, and anything else that may have come into contact with that person to reduce the chance of transfer. If other symptoms are occurring besides the ones involving the eyes, it is best to stay away from others to prevent the spread of infection until the symptoms are relieved and treatment is successful.
