- Contact lenses: Most people don’t know exactly how to wear contact lenses. When people don’t follow the proper criteria of wearing contact lenses, they cause serious eye infection. They increase dryness by blocking the tear glands thus resulting in eye pain and redness.
- Allergy: When foreign particles such as dust, pollen etc enter the body, your immune system launches an army against them. In order to initiate the inflammatory response, histamine is released which dilates the vessels thus making the eyes watery.
