If your problem is just the bruising and swelling on your eyelid, it is not a corneal abrasion (scratched cornea/eye ball). It certainly sounds as though you incurred some type of injury to your lid during the night or are having an allergic reaction to some type of make up or cream. Could you have rubbed your lid too hard in an attempt to remove some eye shadow? If you feel like something is in your eye and your actual eye is tearing and uncomfortable or painful, then it probably is a corneal abrasion and the discoloration on your lid is probably unrelated. I've had dozen of corneal abrasions and never had a discolored lid.

In either case, I would suggest using an ice pack or some ice cubes wrapped in a thin towel to relieve the swelling and hopefully the discoloration or pain, if you actually have a corneal abrasion. Leave the ice pack on your eyelid for about 15-20 minutes and repeat every hour or so. If the eyelid still hurts and is discolored on Monday, you ought to have it checked by an eye doctor. If it gets a lot worse and you feel you can't wait until Monday to see a doctor, I guess a trip to the emergency room might be in order.

Wish I could give you a better clue as to what is wrong with your eye, but yahoo answerers can only give you best guesstimates, only an eye specialist or medical doctor can give you a definitive diagnosis.

Of course, we're going to tell you to go see a doctor but it sounds a little like you may have gotten something in your eye and scratched the cornea. This has happened to me while sleeping. In your case, I would definitely go see a doctor. You just don't want to mess with your eye sight. The good news is that eye problems usually heal pretty quickly after treatment.



you have proabaly scratched it . Put some ice on it and dont rub it .When in bed dont stuff your face in the pillow. It would also help if you left the window open in your room and then close it 20 mins before sleeping

Maybe something happened while you were asleep? If it's bruised it has to be something with the blood vessels.



do you have pink eye 2



GO TO A DOCTOR DUMMY!!!
