Your eyes have over worked. They need rest. If you can manage Make chips of potato or cucumber, after closing eyes keep over the eye lids for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove them while keeping the eyes closed, rub your palms, when slightly warm keep over the opened eyes for 2 to 3 minutes. It will give relief.
In the mean time you can use homoeopathic eye drops, locally available where you live.

call your eye doctor, sounds like pressure on your eye...do you have high blood pressure,

I have no idea what's going on, but I suggest you see your optometrist immediately.

I have no idea but you need to go to the doctor!

honey, you need to get to an eye doctor just as fast as your legs will carry you. What you describe could be retinal detachment, early treatment can prevent blindness, let it go too long and you lose the sight forever. Don't wait, go now.

Go to the regular doctor. General practitioners need to learn about eye stuff too! Good luck!

u could have popped a blood vessel in ur eye, like wrestlers do sometimes when they are in a headlock. i think its just caused by too much strain on the eyes. i wouldnt worry about going blind, just hold out till u go see ur doctor

try finding another doctor who can see you sooner

or go to the emergency room...that's what i did when i was so dizzy that i kept blacking out & the doctor said "sure. see ya in a month!"

go to the outpatients in hospital or find another eye doctor.
dont wait 3 weeks.

could you of gotten a eyelash in your eye? I've gotten one in mine several times and felt like someone was stabbing my eye. Even tho it doesn't feel like an eyelash, try looking at your eye in the mirror or try closing your eye and moving your eyeball around or try flushing it with cold water for a few mins, I hope this helped. good luck

see an eye doc right away. and i mean right away.

Do not wait for 3 weeks to see your doctor. Did you let them know that you have an eye infection? If not, call them back and tell them. My eye doctor always takes me the same day if I have an eye infection. It sounds as though you have pink eye. Do you also have matter in your eyes, especially in the morning when you first get up? If so, I am 99% sure this is pink eye. Pink eye is extremely contagious and you can spread it to your other eye, so be very careful not to rub it. If your opteometrist still refuses to see you, then see another eye doctor or your GP. My G.P. has also treated pink eye for me. Hope you feel better soon. Don't be worrying you are going blind; you aren't and you want to keep positive thoughts.

Wow, maybe you should think about going to the hospital or urgent care soon.

The pain and pink veins sound a lot like pink eye, but the spots sound a lot like a migraine. When I get migraines I get these spots all over my vision.


However, I truly think you need to get it checked out soon, not in three weeks!!


Hope everything goes well!

Get your sugars checked, but for sure go to the Doctors

Yes go to the er, if there is not an immediate improvement.
Are you taking ANY medication? If so, this could be a side effect.

I am not sure if being pregnant would cause your symptoms. The redness could be several conditions such as pink-eye, although there is usually not sight impairments.

Really, you need to get to a doctor, even if it is a free clinic, etc. Maybe you can call the local LIONS club, as vision and eye care is one of their ongoing commitments to the public. Look up the local Lions Club in your area, and ask if they can help....
Good luck

it could be something serious but again it could be a reactant of your pregnancy. maybe a blood vessel popped in your eye. call your doctor and ask him if you could see him a little earlier then your appointment. hope everything is fine

This actually happened to a friend of mine...she had a virus in her eye and it actually popped a blood vessel which made her eye look like it was bleeding...maybe a coincidence but she is also pregnant.
