Question: Dear doctor,

When I drive my car or bike or basically when get exposed to pollution, I feel pain in my right eye.

I experience this even when I keep working before computer for long time at a stretch.
Washing my eyes helps sometimes.
Can you please let me know if this is an issue?

Can you suggest what can be done to overcome this pain?

Can you suggest some eye drops to clear or remove dust from my eyes?

Regards,

Thanks for sending your query to us.
To begin with when ever exposed to pollution you have to protect the eyes.Use glasses /helmet with visor down while driving the bike.This protects the eyes from dust and pollutents.Thepain you mentioned will be taken care of by general measures like diet ,rest,exercise and adding multivitamines to your diet.make sure that you have some B Complex group multivitamines for two weeks then assess your pain and if you feel a general improvement then continue with multivitamines.
