My eye is so so sore. it feels like something is in it but there isnt...

Kezzy92 15-07-2009 11:25 PM

What about a walk in centre? or a&e? Its pretty hard to tell whats up just from looking at a picture as most the eye is covered by your eye lid.

Its hard to tell by the picture, but is your eyelid really swollen? It could be a stye... try putting warm compresses on it for a few days and see if it gets better... but if it get a lot worse at any pt. you really should try to see someone.

You should go to a doctor. It could be a stye? I had one and that's how it felt, my eye felt heavy and like there was something in it. Putting warm compresses on it, like said, really helps until you can get to a doctor.

Looks like conjunctivitus to me! Your local chemist should be able to help? Just pop in and ask for a quick consultation

blood_stained_tears 16-07-2009 10:48 AM

it may be hayfever?

i get it and my eyes end up like that after itching them.

maybe go to your local chemist and get something over the counter they are really helpful like that.

hope your okay x

A pharmacist can look at your eye in a consultation, they will then advise if you need to see your GP or if there is an over the counter remedy that can help.

Can you pleasee avoid diagnising people on here. thanks.

Kezzy92 16-07-2009 02:54 PM

whats a stye and whats a warm compress? :S its only one eye not both. i dont know where a phamacy near me is and ive told my parents about my eye and there reply was "oh well" so i never got a answer of them about the nearest phamacy question i asked them.

Mandimoo 16-07-2009 09:27 PM

ring up your surgery now, there will be a number to ring for an appointment. its drs who work all night and weekend. its free. might not be at your surgery, they usually take it in turns all the surgeries in the area do one night a week or summat, sometimes in a central place.

as for pharmacies, most tescos have one.

It's like when stuff gets clogged in a gland-thing. If it is a stye (which I wouldn't know) then putting warm wash clothes or warm pack-things on it can help it. And you really should go to a doctor they can give you medicine to treat it, I had one for a few months and it was awful. They had to drain it (ew).
But then again, idk. (I'm not trying to diagnose the person, just sayin').
