My dog's one eye gets red after playing. Is it allergies or injury?

Question

My dog always when playing with other dogs or running through higher​ grass, the next morning has iritation on one eye. There is redness and little discharge. I'm giving her eye drops for couple of days, then she is kinda ok. After some time, again, playing, then red eye. How can i improve her imun system so not to put drops every secon week because I doubt that it's healthy for the dog to be treated with drops that often. Thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 6 months old | 33.06 lbs

The redness and discharge that you are seeing in Tea's eye could be due to a corneal ulcer/abrasion or underlying allergies. However, I would expect allergy issues to affect both eyes. At this point, I would recommend taking Tea to her vet for an exam and to have her eyes assessed for the presence of a corneal ulcer so that any issue can be treated appropriately. I don't know which eye drops you have been using at this point, so I can't speak to the efficacy or safety of this medication. Always speak with Tea's vet before starting any medication, particularly eye medications. Some eye medications can make issues worse when used incorrectly. I hope that all goes well!
