It started on Sunday morning, and has been there every morning since, except this morning, my eyes were literally shut tight, and I had a hard time getting the crap out of them. What is this stuff and what is causing it? Is there something I can do at home, or should I go see the doctor? Thanks for the help...

It is an inflammation of the conjunctiva(the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), often due to infection. It may also be caused by adenoviruses.

Ok, did this start rather suddenly, does it itch?  Have you had contact with something new?...soap, lotion, etc.  sounds like an allergic reaction.  If your mouth or throat tingle or throat feels tight...GO TO THE ER.  If this is mild and does not progress tonite, you could try taking a Benadryl 25mg. tablet...can buy over the counter at Walmart or pharmacy.  Is there a walk in clinic in your town?  If not, call your doc ( there will be someonr taking call for the holiday) and see if he/she wants you to go to the ER or if there is an office or clinic you can go to.   Some hospitals have an Urgent Care Center in connection with the ER.  This would be an appropriate place to go.  You must have had skin contact with something you are allergic to.  Hope you do well.

its probably conjunctivitis. Why cant you go to the doctors? because if it is this it can be very contagious Ive had it several times. Maybe just go to the chemist then they might be able to help but i really think the GP would be best.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

There are a lot of things that could cause this.  You really should get it checked out by your eye doctor just to make sure it isn't a sign of anything more serious.

it is also called "pinkeye" and it will eventually clear up on it's own or you can get some eye drops from the pharmacist called ocutricin or ask your doc about it.  I know about this it is a virus and I have had it a number of times growing up and even when I got grown and my daughter has had it a couple of times.  Just wash hands and wash wash wash keep the germs at bay and here is a link that could help you more also:\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/63/71983.htm\nbest wishes

I have not had it but I am very familiar with it. It is usually caused by over wearing your contacts and not cleaning them well. your doctor should have you out of them for a couple weeks and probably on a drop to help resolve it quicker.

My mother has this problem.  She didn't know how it happened.  Every night she has to put this ointment in her eye for it.  Been going thru this for over a year now.  I wish you the best and a speedy healing.

It is too dry in your room. Try a humidifier, or turn off fans in your room. Get some eye drops for the morning.

I had this problem about 10 years ago.  The options i was given at the time was:\n\n1.  Drops to put in my eyes everyday.. everyday or the problem would come back.  It was just like a temporary fix.\n\n2. or have surgery.  I had the surgery and i am glad i did.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  ~~~  Oh, and keep your hands away from your eyes, use a clean tissue, if not you could get it infected.

You need to see your eye doctor immediately.  Stress will not cause sharp bursts of pain behind your eyes.  Be proactive about this - it's much better to be safe than sorry.

It could be anything from conjunctivitis (pink eye) or it could be due to a foreign body irritating it. \n\nI'd recommend an eye wash as a first step to troubleshooting your condition.

If you have more than just a little and if it's gluing your eyes shut, you need to see your eye doctor.  It's possibly a sign of a bacterial infection (maybe conjunctivitis).  Don't put salt water in your eyes - it will just irritate them.  If you need to, you can irrigate a little with artificial tears, sterile saline, or contact lens solution.  But get yourself to your eye doctor so that you can be treated properly.

Sounds like conjunctivitis. An eye infection, it can be caused by allergies, or a number of things. There is over the counter eye drops which should help. There is even special drops specially for conjunctivitis.
