hi
it seems u r suffering from allergic conjunctivitis. You can start with an anti-allergic eye drop ( Olopatadine eye drop two times daily -- for 14 days on both eyes ) and one lubricating eye drop (Tears Naturale II , 3-4 times daily on both eyes for 14 days). You should get relief with the above treatment.

Thanks.

Dear Friend,

Itching, redness and discharge are the signs of Allergic conjunctivitis, you can use anti-allergic eye drops like Olopatadine 0.2% (eg. Pataday from Alcon). If you are a computer user and work on PC for long your condition can be due to dry eye too. You are required to blink a lot while work, take rest while work by closing eyes for a few second, use artificial tears (like refresh tears) and take diets rich in omega 3 fatty acids. If your symptoms persits please consult an ophthalmologist for opinion. Take care
