My eyes are killing.
 

Since Sunday my eyes have been killing me all my vision is blurred, yesterday I rinsed them out with Optrex Jesus did it make my eyes sting? Since yesterday my vision has got worse it's really worrying me, I've got my glasses on but they are not making any difference.

Do you suffer from hayfever, that you know of ? anything happen at work / out of the ordinary ?

welding flash etc etc

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Was welding at work last Thursday but I had the face mask on, welding flashes usually kick in within 2 hours.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Yeah, certainly not a week later :shrug: possible trip to the Dr's for you me lad ;) could be anything, hayfever, conjunctavitus etc etc.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Go to the Dr's / Opticians.... Don't wait if there is a major problem you should get it looked at sooner rather than later.

It's not worh risking you're eyesight. and days can count.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

It's not conjunctavitus because there's no puss coming out of them plus they aren't swollen. I've never suffered from hayfever.

And there speaks the voice of authority, how ya doin' mate ??

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Just phoned the doctors can't get in till next Tuesday.:confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

can you not walk in as an emergency patient, failing that go to the hospital.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Go to the optician. They should see you, and if they can't help should be able to jump the q for the dr's.... Personally after the crap I've had with my eyes i'd even go to casualty and get them to look if the gp's don't want to play ball.

I can't even read text messages on my phone (With my glasses) now. I have to use a big chunky magnifying glass.....

But it could be worse :)

It's looking like the hospital.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

hayfever can actually start anytime in your life. you don't have to have always or ever suffered from it for it to start.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

do you wear contact lenses? Bausch and lomb have withdrawn their lens fluid - called renu moisture loc or summat. Apparently it can cause infections etc. I'm waiting for my opticians to send me a replacement bottle of fluid... story here:

Call the police!!!









(had to be done)

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

The absence of pus does not exclude Conjunctivitis, most conjunctival infections are actually virual and they tend to make your eyes red and watery. They may stick the eyelids together which you will notice when you wake.

Any sudden loss of vision needs to be investigated as soon as possible.

My advice would be to go to an Optician or your local A&E who may have an eye A&E clinic too.

Let us know...

When you say blurred.....do you mean you are seeing double or that things are fuzzy?

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Go to the hospital.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Keeping fit by no means discounts the possibility of having high blood pressure. Get it checked out. :)

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Very true, I cycle 5 miles a day, have a BMI bordering on underweight, don't smoke & I have to take medication for high blood pressure.

The diagnosis came as a complete shock during a routine check up, as there had been no symptoms, at all - the idea that only overweight sedentary people have high blood pressure is not true ;)

Update?

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

When I was living with Lesleyann she used to have major problems with hay-fever.

I bought a decent air cleaner, I think it was called BIONAIR and it had a true hepa filter. Allways had it running in the bedroom and it used to help her.

You're welcome to some of mine :)

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

I would go to the hospital if I was you.

I was outside about 3 years ago welding, and my eyes started to ache in the evening. I just put it down to a bit of arc-eye, but noticed one was a lot worse than the other.

I woke up in the middle of the following night with the worst pain I have ever experienced, it was just like someone sticking a red hot poker in my eye.
Putting the lights on made it worse, so I had to get dressed in the dark and get my girlfriend to take me to hospital. They found a flake of rusty metal in my eye, as I was wearing goggles with the angle grinder I reckon I must of rubbed in from the sleeve of my overalls into my eye when I was wiping my brow.

I had weeks going back and fore the hospital, and the damage was spot on the centre of my eye. The initial visits were not too bad, even when they scraped the offending piece of rusty metal off with a "needle". The later visits got worse as my eye was getting better, the polishing sessions with a dremel like tool was the worst part.

If you have any doubt get it looked at, if I had gone straight away perhaps the damage wouldn't of been so bad. I still get the occassional session with blurred vision, but usually put that down to the beer.

Managed to get into the Doctors today, he said I've got an infection. He's put me on a course of eye drops with antibiotics in it. I've just put some in and they feel better already.

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

Glad to hear you are on the mend.

Remember CF will cure many things but for humans a Doctor is usually better. :D

Re: My eyes are killing.
 

LOL I know:D :D Thanks to all who gave advice, woke up this morning and the infection has nearly cleared up, you'll ding dang do for me.
