It causes redness, irritation, a gritty or burning feeling, and discharge. There are three common types — bacterial (thick yellow\/green discharge, eyelids stuck together in the morning), viral (watery discharge, often with a cold; very contagious), and allergic (intense itching, watery eyes, usually both eyes). Telling them apart matters, because antibiotics only help the bacterial kind. A pharmacist can assess your symptoms, identify the likely type, and either recommend the right treatment or refer you when an eye exam is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSelf-care products available in our shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLubricating \/ artificial tear drops to flush irritants and soothe\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAllergy eye drops (e.g., ketotifen, Zaditor) for itchy, allergic eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSterile eye wash \/ saline to rinse discharge and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRedness-relief drops for short-term use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCold\/warm compress packs — warm for crusting, cool for itch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ocp-ail-rx\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eTreatments our pharmacist can prescribe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"ocp-ail-note\"\u003eFor your information only: in Ontario, our pharmacist can assess this condition and, when appropriate, prescribe from the medications listed below.
