Question: Have been having itching of eye and have taking elisca eye drops but not goingwhat kind of eyes drop can i take again
Answer: Hi there and thanks for your enquiry

Itching of the eye could be an indication of allergy irritation infection etc
 It could be associated with redness of the affected eye excessive tearing and discharge of pus in the case of infections
 Though it is common practice to self medicate it is not advisable to Visiting a clinic could help distinguish what is the possible cause Why you may ask Sometimes all you may need is just an antihistamine for an allergy and yet you may be using an antibiotic like the case of allergic conjuctivits and bacterial conjunctivitis
 Provided there is clarity on the cause of the itching the drug may not be right for you Especially in the case of an infectious cause the organism responsible may not be sensitive to the eye drops you are using
 On the issue of drugs some people do not know their sensitivities to different drugs As such you are just adding more fuel to the flame
 For the case of those whose itching may be an allergy it is advisable to avoid what causes the allergy
 Do not scratch the eye as this worsens the itching sensation

My recommendation will be to have your eyes checked at an eye clinic if that has not been done yet before considering what to use next Washing the eyes with clean water may be of benefit and wear sunglasses if the light is also an issue as well as to serve as a barrier for any irritants in the environment like smoke and dust

I hope this helps you and wish you a smooth recovery so you can continue seeing the great things Wellvis has in store for the community
