What Causes Soreness And Redness In The Eyes?

The sclera on both eyes is loose, red, and sore. My ophthalmologist suggested trying a variety of tears in a bottle used hourly combined with a wash cloth with hot from the tap water placed over the eyes twice a day for 5 minutes followed by squeezing the eyes several times. He stated there is no known cause for this issue. If these over the counter remedies don't work, he mentioned surgery to remove the excess sclera. I am seeking another opinion (yours).
