Whats Wrong? - Kaneohe,HI
Hi ladies. Something is wrong with my eye, but it isnt a stye. It hurts when i blink my right eye and it is a little red and inflamed by my tear duct. However, it isnt a bump or anything like a stye. It is a little itchy every now and then, but i cant scratch it because it hurts. I havent been tearing, or noticed anything out of the ordinary in fact. Anyone know whats wrong?
So What Happened?™
Thanks for the responses ladies. I believe i have a blocked tear duct. I put a warm compress on it today and it basically went away. Thanks for the suggestions :o)

Could it be pink eye! Very contagious, you should have the doctor check it out!

Hello!
It could be an allergy of some sort, especially since it is itching.

The duct could be blocked. Have you tried putting a damp, warm wash cloth on it? That usually helps. I would go see a doc too just to be careful.

Hi Nashes Mom, It sounds like it could be pink eye, or you may have gotten a tiny particle of dirt or sand in your eye and didn't realize it. I went through about 2 weeks a few months ago with my left eye hurting and itching, I bought some visine drops, not for red eye, for irretated eyes, i don't know why i waited for so long, anyway the drops helped and to this day I don't know what was going on with my eye. I would try some drops and if it does not work go get it checked out. J.
