sounds like pink eye (conjunctivitis) just go to your pharmacy and get some boric acid add warm water to it and rinse your eye.  be sure to wear sun glasses this will help with the pain.  If this does not work, go to your doctor he will give you a stronger perscription but will also contain boric acid.

you are right about inner ear infection, that is random. so is an eye infection, most pink/red eyes are viral too, but let your doctor see it at least, likely just a coincidence, good luck

It could very well be pink eye.  Your symptoms sound like mine when I had pink eye.  It is very contageous.  Go to the Doctor.  He will give you a prescription for a salve that you put in your eye.  we had quite a problem at school with pink eye a few years ago.

See your eye doctor about this as soon as you can.  You shouldn't experience any sudden vision changes, so this could be a sign of something else that's going on.

yes it is called ocular (eye) herpes simplex When the eye is afflicted by herpes simplex, it usually affects only one eye and most often occurs on the cornea (the normally clear dome that covers the front part of the eye). This type of corneal infection is called Herpes Keratitis. The infection may be superficial, involving the top layer (epithelium) of the cornea, and usually heals without scarring, or it may involve the deeper layers of the cornea. If the infection involves the deeper layers, it may lead to scars of the cornea, loss of vision, and sometimes even blindness. Less commonly, herpes simplex virus may also infect the inside of the eye (Herpes Uveitis) or the retina (Herpes Retinitis).

Depending on each person, if you wear a lot eye contact lenses that could lead you to some eye-illnes, like infections.\n\nThere are also many people that looks better with spectacles, so it could be also a good reason.

When I first started taking probiotics, some bacteria actually infected my eyes, the bacteria was verified as being probiotic bacteria, it was not just a coincidence. The hypothesis was some bacteria entered my blood stream due to leaky gut syndrome and it survived just long enough to make it to my eyes and set up base. There was no symptoms other than my eyes were puffy and in the morning I would have lots of white discharge around my eyes. I got some drops that cleared it right up and then decreased the amount of probiotics I was taking to just one capsule a day. I haven't had the problem since. Despite this I would never recommend against taking probiotics they have helped my digestion tremendously! I learned about them at http//www.bartenblends.com

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.

You can get it from touching your eyes a lot, like if  your hands are dirty. My sister and my brother got it while they were sick, so they kept touching their eyes while sick, and it became pink eye.\n\nWash your hands more if you have a habbit of touching your eyes.

There are a few different kinds of pink eye, but most are contagious.  Most also resolve on their own within 1 month, but the process can be sped up with medication.  Definitely make an appointment with your eye doctor (you don't want to be contagious for a whole month).  You may need antibiotics (if it's caused by bacteria) or a steroid eyedrop.  In the meantime, don't share anything (towels, pillowcases, etc), use a tissue to wipe your eyes (and throw it away immediately), and wash your hands several times a day.

You really should see a doctor.  Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, can be bacterial, viral, caused by irritants in the eye, caused by allergies.  In any case, it should be examined by a doctor and an appropriate medication or course of action should be prescribed.  Whomever has the pinkeye should be considered contagious and care should be taken so that person does not infect their other eye or other people around them.  If it is a child, then they may have to stay out of school for at least 24 hours after treatment has begun, possibly longer if it's of the viral kind.

Yes you can.  As long as your eye isn't weeping and pink then you can go.  Just make sure to wash your hands constantly and flow up with a lotion to prevent dryness.  Don't touch your eye until all antibiotics are gone!

Why don't you go see a doctor and sometimes it can be that you have eye gunk on your iris.

eyes are pink/red and itchy\n\nif there is yellowish gunk in it, its bacterial and you can get a prescription for your doctor to shorten its duration. if theyre just red and there isnt gunk, its probably either viral or allergies and there isnt much you can do- you can get over the counter eye drops and that's about it. you can try putting a hot, wet cloth kid's eyes (with his eyes closed) and that can provide some releif.

You might actually have a sty.  A sty (what a name, huh?) is caused by an ingrown eyelash.  Like an ingrown nose, leg, or pubic hair, it gets pus, kind of like a pimple.  Only, your eyes are very sensitive, so you feel the reaction more.  The only thing you can really do is wait for it to go away.\nI know that sounds gross, but they do go away quickly.\nYou can get medication for it, but it only treats the discomfort, it doesn't make it go away.\nUse a cold compress to make it feel better.  If you have to be out and about,and you find that it is a bit sensitive to light, wear sunglasses.  You might also want to wear an eyepatch to bed.  Drink plenty of water.  Also,when you wash your face, be sure to rinse well.\nIt sounds very much like a sty.  They suck, but everybody gets one at least once in their life, and they go away (usually a couple of days).\nGood luck, hope you feel better.\n\nPS if you wear contacts, wear your glasses for now.\nGood luck
