Sore Eye - Is it something to worry about?!


Question: Sore Eye - Is it something to worry about!?
My left eye has been sore for a few days now!. It's not like a "there's an eyelash in my eye" kinda sore, almost like there's a bruise in the corner of my eye!. i wear contacts, but when it started to hurt i put on my glasses and have been wearing them since!. I also haven't been wearing eye makeup for the past few days in case that's the issue but it doesn't seem to be working!. should i just wait for it to pass or is it just something i should be worried about!?

Answers:
Hello! I am not an expert in this field but have been an Optometric assistant for a number of years!. It is good that you removed your contact lenses to be sure that it is not related to your lens wear!. If you have redness or discharge from your eye it could be an infection and should be treated!. Any symptoms that are unusual to you and do not resolve after a few days should be reported to your doctor or Optometrist!. Most problems do tend to resolve on their own but if you are concerned see your doctor especially if unusual symptoms persist after several days!. Good luck and don't worry!.

It sound's like a sty!. I get them every couple of years!. I do the same contacts out eye make up off!. I replace my mascara after that because it is an eye infection!.

If you were disposable contacts they may be old!. Another thing that may cause them is if you sleep with your makeup on!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
