For mild irritation and soreness, you can start with over-the-counter lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to soothe and hydrate your eyes. If you suspect an allergy is causing the discomfort, over-the-counter antihistamine drops (such as ketotifen) can provide relief. Please avoid rubbing your eyes and take a break from screens. These symptoms are very common and usually resolve quickly. However, if you experience severe pain, changes in your vision, extreme light sensitivity, or any unusual discharge, please consult an eye care specialist for a proper examination.
