You should go to the ER. It could be a simple conjunctivitis, but then it better not be taken for granted. Some types of conjunctivitis can affect the cornea too leading to corneal opacities and vision problems later on. It is your eye! Please be serious about it, visit the ER! \n\nI am against trying self medication for the eye!

I used to get this. First of all make sure the light on the monitor isn't too bright, there should be a switch that adjust the light. Also I find if the monitor is too close I get pains behind my eyes. Move the monitor a reasonable distance away for you. Hopeful when you've made a few adjustments you should be OK. If this is thw first time you've used a computer it does take a while to get used to it.

I agree with going to see a neurologist. You could be suffering from severe migraines which can cause everything you described. Even more rare is a condition known as "cluster headaches". Cluster headaches can be incapacitating anywhere from 4 hours to 4 months. Check out WebMd.com for more info on them. \n\nDo you where corrective lenses? Could be as simple as eye strain from a bad prescription. Wouldn't hurt to see an eye doctor as well.\n\nAs for your immediate pain, try to sleep on you side or your back with a supportive pillow. Don't use the memory foam type as they do not recover fast enough to support your head, neck and shoulders. Put a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. It helps to align the spine and give you more support. Try ice packs and heat packs. Alternate icing for 20 mins and then heat, then ice again. \n\nYou can also try some light isotonic stretching exercises for your arms, back and neck right before bed to help relax the muscles.\n\nI'm sorry you feel rotten. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope that a good doc will take the time to listen to you.

"red eye" can be \na)viral- which is self limiting often gone in 2 weeks \nb) bacterial - you will have alot of discharge and mucus, maybe painful\nc) environmental as the other person described \nd) allergy - you will feel a distinct itch \ne) dry eye - which can be associated with tearing and or burning\n\nusing artificial tears works well but you have to use them often, up to 4-5 X a day.  Systane (OTC at any drug store) only has to be use 2X or more per day for an appropriate dose.  \nnote: if you do have dry eye with a dry mouth as well as vaginal dryness then get checked for sjogrens syndrome.  dry eye can also be associated with arthritis and other auto immune diseases.\n\nlast things to consider if you do have dry eyes:\n- increase your omega 3 (ie fish oil, flax seed oil) to increase tear production\n-warm compresses and lid scrubs can allow the natural oils in your eyelids to coat your tears better\n-if all else fails there is Restasis which is a prescription drug.  it can take upto 6mo to take affect.\n\nof course consult your MD or optometrist for the appropriate course for you. \n\nhope this was helpful.

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 or go to the emergency room immediately!  Your eyes normally dilate together when exposed to dim lighting.  One eye dilating is abnormal and needs to be investigated.

light sensitivity is associated with migraines, and who knows it could have some connection. Maybe you are starting to develop migraines. You're gonna have to tell a doctor abou this. While 20% of us have this condition, only about 1% actually know it.

It's good to rest your eyes--at least try to take them out in the evenings.  I don't think it makes your vision worse, but it can affect your eye health as far as the cornea and infections etc. I haven't heard of the Renu problem, but there was a Bausch & Loumb recall.

One, you can eat LOTS of carrots!  They are totally good for optical health.  Also, don't stay up too late, or read in bad light.  That makes them red!  If you ever get in a shower, try to prevent anything from getting in them.  Also, if none of this works, you could try eye drops.

Depends on what kind.\n\nThe kind I had, which was for a retinal detachment, had me in a semiconscious haze of pain for about a week, and hurt to a lesser degree for about a month afterwards.  At the beginning, I could not read, watch TV, or look at anything really, because it hurt too much to move and/or focus my eye.  I would recommend eye surgery to save your sight (it was worth that) but not for any cosmetic reason.

Well your eye gets discolored, like a pink or redish color, also it's starts to itch ALOT. Sometimes when you blink it feels like something is scratching your eye.

Please DO NOT wear your contact lenses in either eye if even one of your eye is red.\n\nIt is again not possible to wear contacts in only one eye as this will affect your stereopsis and u may land up having confusions and very very annoying vision esp while driving when u need a lot of concentration.\n\nIf your eyes are red, discontinue the lenses and consult your doctor immediately\n\nZubin J\nOptometrist

I have heard of some cases where the tear ducts quit working.  You get dry red eyes.  Only treatment for that is getting tubes put in the ducts.  Also it could be a reaction caused by the sun.  I have two friends who have seperate conditions, but both of them get red eyes  that cause them pain most of the time.  You might try wearing sunglasses whenever you go outside and see if this improves the situation any.
