Generally eye inflammation can be caused by germ, virus, stimulation, injury or certain kinds of eye diseases. If you don't know what the reason is, try first to use ophthalmic saline solution, which is better than eye drops on the first stage. If the symptom couldn't be relieved, you'd better go for the eye doctor and find out what caused the inflammation. Of course the prevention is most important. Examine yourself on your lifestyle. Do you often rub eyes or even with unwashed hands? Do you often renew towels? Stimulating food should be kept off, and eat more fresh vegetables and soybean products. Have a 10 min's rest every 40min when looking at the silver screen. And often do eye exercises.
