A few days ago my right eye began to feel irritated and watered, and began to hurt at the corners. It went a little red, but not all that much, and didn't swell. I didn't think much of it at the time since it's winter and everything is dry and the heater is running all the time in the house, so I used a little Clear Eyes eye drops and that seemed to help it some.
However, when I woke up the next morning, the eye was almost sealed shut with crusty eye mucus, and hurt terribly to open for most of the morning. The same thing has been happening all week, and now my other eye is beginning to do it as well.
My dad says that what I have is eye strain because of the lack of swelling, but I'm really beginning to doubt it since my eyes seem to be getting worse, rather than better over time.
I don't have anykind of allergies that would effect my eyes, wear any kind of contacts, and I haven't worn make up around my eyes since this whole thing started.
Can someone give me a second opinion?
