Common symptoms include redness, itching, tearing, and discharge from the eye. Patients may also experience discomfort or a gritty sensation.
Treatment may involve artificial tears, antihistamines for allergic causes, or topical antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected. Follow-up care is important to monitor symptoms.
