hi, viral infection of eye is self limiting but takes atleast 20 days. Your eyelid scrubs are actually dandruff of your eyelashes known as squamous blepharitis.Just washing with a baby shampoo will not cure this you need to see a dermatologist for the treatment of dandruff of your head which is the main cause of this eye condition.Falling of dandruff from head to eyes leads to blepharitis.
High blood pressure causes hypertensive retinopathy in eye . This usually occurs after the age of 50. you have not mentioned your age. go for a fundus examination once a year.
