My left eye is really inflamed, sensitive to light and my vision in it is blurre!


Question: My left eye is really inflamed, sensitive to light and my vision in it is blurred, whats wrong!?
I woke up Thursday morning and it felt terrible (I had slept with my contacts in an my makeup on the night before, but ive done that a few times and its never been this bad)!. later I tried to go to class and had to leave it because my eye kept feeling so painful and it kept tearing up!. I went to my university doctor and they just prescribed me special eye drops which haven't helped at all!. the light bothers my eye and I noticed that the vision in my left eye is now blurrier than in my right eye!. is there anything I can do about this other than waiting for the stupid eye drops to work!? and I don't really have the option of seeing an eye doctor right now since I cant drive like this ( I live on a college campus and my parents arent around)!.

Answers:
You might have keratitis, an inflammation of the cornea!. Some of these are minor, but others are severe infections that can affect vision permanently!. Go to Student Health immediately!. They should be able to determine whether or not you need to see an eye doctor!.

Please make an option to get this attended to immediately!. You should ask the question, "do I have an option to be blind in one eye for the rest of my life!?"Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm going to assume you have some friends that would drive you!? A bus you can take!? I'm sure there is a way for you to get there!? How do you get any where else!? You need to see your doctor immediately!. Sounds like it could be infected, and the drops may not be working!. If the infection persists untreated you could lose you vision or do some actual damage to your eye!. I suggest you find a way to get to the doctor!. Good Luck!! Merry Christmas!1Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well one, remove your contacts and your makeup, and keep them off until your eyes get better!.

You might have pink eye or your contacts irritated your eye!. You should always check it out because your conrea could be infected and it can cause serious damage to your eye site!.

Even though it hasn't bothered you before, you really should take your contacts off when you're sleeping, they dry out faster and in my opinion I like moist contacts!. Soaking your contacts for 4 hours will also remove the basteria and protein on the contacts that could irritate your eyes!.

Place a damp and cool washcloth over your eye, hopefully it will lower the inflammation!. Put the eye drops on about every hour!. Try and rest the eye, I know it's tough missing classes in college!. But resting is always the key!.

If your eye doesn't get better within a few days, visit a doctor!. You can ask a roommate, a friend, or call your parents to drive you there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
