Answer 1

You have no serious problem wash eyes twice a day with clean water and see another doctor and get opinion.

Answer 2

He isn't concerned if you have allergies.  It sounds like he's concerned about something more serious.

I would do what he says.

Answer 3

It sounds like he has seen something at the back of your eye that has caused him some concerns. It might be worthwhile getting your mum or dad to talk to him and then go and gt a check up at the hospital. But he is not concerned about allergies ok , you should get this checked out as soon as possible it is probably nothing but why take the risk
