my eye = red

Placebo

right eye, at the right corner of it, i can see red viens, a bunch of em, clot if you will.
just noticed it a few sec ago, i think i might have been rubbing it, i was playing cs all day so maybe its to do with too much light ? eye strain, havent been sleeping early either.

friend says its a sty, due to lack of sleep.

And my question is, ne one know if it will be gone by tomorow, i need to do stuff
i can wait and see but just wondering what it is.

its on my eyeball, btw . :rolleyes:

LegacyUser

yea, from rubbing no doubt, be gone in a few hours

You need to get that checked out.

Is it sore?

It could be any number of things, a sty, conjuntivitus, eye strain or it could be an eye ulcer. If it's on the eyeball then it could be an ulcer, I had one and I let it go for a day or two....thinking it would go away.....I ended up in the eye care unit in the Mater and was prescribed tons of gels and stuff for the eye.

Go to the doctor.......better to fork out 40 quid for doctors fees now, than end up with a damaged eye later..

a stye is a kind of spot on your eyelid, not your eyeball.

if it's OK by tomorrow then don't worry too much, but if it's not go and see a doc quick sharp.

collegue of mine had a similar thing and it turned out to be an infection which was caught just in time before it blinded him in one eye. he spent 4 days in hospital which really sucked cos he was over from the UK, and it was over the weekend, so he was all on his own most of the time in unfamiliar territory. must have been scary. we did take it in turns to visit him though, so he had company some of the time.

funny story, no you'll laugh really.

Was in the states this summer for six fun filled weeks. 5/6 day of the week i worked in an amusment park pulling 12 sometimes 14 hour shiftd, i'd arrive home at midnight and then proceed to hit the bars of wildwood....(yeah baby)

this happened EVERY SINGLE night for six weeks. I got on average 4 hours sleep all night drank EXCESSIVELY and resulted in developing severly blood shot eyes, and little bunches of veins similiar to what you described. Then to top it all off i developed a twitchin my eye from lack of sleep. this was CONSTANT ......all day every day every minute or so.

nothing a good WEEKS sleep...ie/ dont leave the comfort of your bed for anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! wont cure.
Along with gallons of optrex eye drops.

Eye drops are a creation of the devil. Don't take them. I'm almost positive they do more harm than good.

Have you had a bang in the eye or has someone punched you or something?
A mate in college had one of them that was caused by falling while drunk and banging his eye off something, cleared up after a couple of weeks,
but go to a doctor to be sure.

If you have a cold, have had one recently, or any virus, secondary conjunctivitis is very common - no real symptoms other than redness, but if not treated is can develop into an eye infection. I think the course of treatment is on 4 days on tablets, so go to your doc and get it sorted. Problems that can develop with eyes are best nipped in the bud

if you use the computer a lot, and your face is pressed right up close to the screen, and you have no screen guard thing then it sometimes happens.

my left eye is like that right now.

catspring

optrex do an eyedrop specifically for blood shot eyes (think it's called red eye or something similar) which is really good.
i often have "pinkeye" (this is the correct medical term which i did make up myself) coz i wear contact lenses and coz i have weirdo eyes.
try not to rub your eye, no matter how tempting it seems coz it ALWAYS makes it worse.
good luck

No "Pink Eye" is an actual eye condition, that is caused from a form of conjuntivitus. If it is also pussy then it could be pink eye. That is also highly contagious. Go to your doc. A.S.A.P. and anyone who has been around you also needs the eye drops. Pink Eye itches and is red and is really pussy. And yes a sty is like an ingrown eyelash. just pull it out and it will go away! Any other mess I am at fault for the answers!!! :rolleyes: Hope it helped...I would go to the doc immediately!!!!

This is just my opinion and by all means you should see your doctor if you're worried:

Your eye just sounds like it's bloodshot to me. I get frequent bouts of insomnia so I get the crazy eyes quite often from staying up for days and rubbing my eyes because they're tired. Needless to say rubbing your eyes is bad for them so you should stop that and be nice to your eyes by giving them a rest. I don't like eye-drops myself (I keep missing my eye, it's rather hard for me to ovecome the instinctive reflex not to let anything fall into my eyes so I either blink or dodge at the last split-second :rolleyes:) but eye-wash is rather nice and soothing. The most important thing though is to leave your eyes alone! It's surprisingly easier said than done though.

Get some good propper sleep, avoid staying on the PC for hours, do not rub or touch or dab your eye and if it is just bloodshot like I think it should be much better by tomorrow.

If it persists though, or gets painful go see your doctor.

if you use the computer a lot, and your face is pressed right up close to the screen, and you have no screen guard thing then it sometimes happens.
