Very Sore Eyeball
I have had a sore eyeball for about a week now, thought it was eyestrain or it got knocked in the night but it aint getting better.
It is now really bloodshot, and starting to affect my vision.
Going to the doctors tomorrow but does anyone have any ideas what this could be to give me a 'heads up'?
piccy attached...

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
could be an infection....
any pus/ stickiness when you wake up?
Could also be a nasty sty, is there a red spot like ... erm... spot... anywhere on/ inside your top/ bottom eyelids?

No more stickyness than normal in the mornings, my mrs nor I could see any spots either...
Just hope the quack does not want to scoop it out with a spoon!!!

Looks like a welding flash they hurt.
I bet you got a bit of something in it, and you have been rubbing.

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
First of all: good move to go and see the quack.
Second: Top right of that pic (eyelid) does suggest you had a knock on it. Have you been on a bender lately
Third, are you allergic to anything?
Fourth: See 1st.

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
Thats got my eyes watering
Why don't you pop over to your nearest ophthalmic optician? They are the eye experts after all.....

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
I think I've come across this too late to be of help but let us know how you got on.
As always, I would need more detail before making a web diagnosis....

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
Thanks for all the advice!
Update - The Nurse (without asking me to even take my glasses off) said that it looked a bit red and thought it may be a form of Conjunctivitis.
She prescribed me Chloramphenicol Eye Drops 0.5% four times a day.
Does that sound right to you Salu?

Im no medical expert but my eye looked like yours did several times in the past and it turned out to be Conjunctivitis, does it feel runny at all, do you get blurred vision?

Re: Very Sore Eyeball
when you go to the chemists before handing in your presciption ask if they sell "Chloramphenicol Eye Drops" and how much it is - no doubt they will and it is likely to be cheaper than the £5 presciption price.
