"Oh, something's wrong with my eye! " we've all supposed this at some point. How unpleasant it can be! Luckily, many common eye ( ocular ) aberrations vanish without treatment or can be managed by self-treating. Assorted products -- from synthetic tears and ointment to ocular decongestants -- are available over the counter ( OTC ). These products can help with aridness, itching, or unnecessary watering of the eye.
