Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sudden onset of redness in eyes.
This seems to be like infective conjunctivitis.
Ocupol D consists of antibiotic with steroid in the form of dexamethasone and should be avoided as it will increase the infection.
Only antibiotics like only ocupol without D can be used.


Thank you
