sbgrace Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yesterday evening I had a hair in my eye which I pulled out. By the time I went to bed my eye was red, watering, and uncomfortable to look at light. If I keep it closed it feels fine so when I woke this morning it seemed 100%. Now it's started up again as my eye is open. I've been trying to keep it closed but that's not easy. So...infection, scratch, or ? Can I wait this out or do I need to see someone?

ktgrok Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Get it checked. And ulcer/abrasion can be serious and can get worse very quickly. You don't want to lose your sight. Go get it checked today. In veterinary medicine we ALWAYS insisted eye injuries be treated same day, without fail, as it could be that much worse in just 24 hours.

Carol in Cal. Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Get it checked, do not wait. Also take an Allegra in case it is mostly an allergic reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 When I scratched my cornea it felt fine if my eye was closed. The doctor prescribed antibiotic cream and bandaged my eye closed for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I don't play games with my eyes. get it checked. if it's a scratch, you will know and just give it time. If there was bacteria on the hair and you are starting an infection, you may save yourself a lot of misery or at least a reduction by going now.

My cousin was just diagnosed with an ulcer on her eye. Never even realized you could get one there!! She said it is extremely painful. She wishes she would have gone in sooner.

Harriet Vane Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Get it checked, pronto. My mother had what she thought was dry eye that escalated badly, quickly, and there was a real danger that she would lose her sight. It was really scary. Go get it checked asap.
