Should I see an eye doctor?!


Question: Should I see an eye doctor!?
I woke up this morning with a "bump" under the top eyelid of my left eye!. It's annoying - kind of like a pimple!. It is painful if I touch it, and bothers me to blink!. It almost feels like if I could 'squeeze' it or 'pop' it, it might go away!. Is this something to worry about!? Should I see an eye doctor!? I'm a 64-year-old male!. -RKO- 07/21/08Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No!. Its minor!. Its basicly what you said!. A pimple!. Close your eyes and hold a warm wet rag over your eyes and listen to the radio!. It should go down!. You may have gotten a little dirt in your eye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would try going to an eye doctor if you are worried about it!. It may just be a sty, though, which is easy to get rid of, by simply placing a warm, wet towel over your eyelid for about 5-10 minutes, maybe once or twice a day!. If the problem does not go away after about a day or two, then I would see the eye doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
