Answer
Thanks for your Questions
Most likely it is episcleritis and you can use NSAIDs such as Nevanac eye drops or Voltaren Ophtha, 2-3 times a day for 1 week. Use also lubricant eye drops at least 5 times a day.
Sometimes you might need corticosteroids eye drops such as pred forte eye drops but this can be used only under doctor supervision.
