Wheezing Sex Symbol

PostPosted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:29 am


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?

I get it a lot darlin' but it's mainly because of my allergies.

Hmm... I would suggest talking to your doctor. It could be an infection.

Also, always wash you hands before you touch your eyes.

Since you said you've used eye drops with only little help, then doctors would be the next step.

The eye crusting and pain sounds a lot like pink eye, best to go to a doctor asap.

Also check your eyelashes. I had this strange on/off stinging pain and irritation in the corner of my eye for a week, so I went to check my eye in a mirror one day in a was a down turned eyelash poking me.

Sounds like Pink Eye, don't rub your eyes just leave them alone and go to the doctor.

Thank you, everyone.
I'll talk my parents into getting me an appointment set up with the ophthalmologist.

PINK EYE. I just had it. Go to ReadyMed or your doctor ASAP!
Throw out all of your eye make up! It is contaminated!!!

Pink eye.
I just got over it myself.

Throw all makeup away.
I bought an over the counter medicine,
med name at Walgreens.
Cleared it up in 3 days.

Do not rub it.
Be sure to wash your hands constantly
to prevent spreading.

If you have to wipe your eye,
wipe from the inside (near your nose)
to the outside, with a CLEAN towel
or napkin. Do not use the same
napkin/towel over and over again.
You'll just continue to pass germs.

If it gets worse, see doctor.
