Yesterday my left eye was hurting ALL day... still hurt today so I went to the health center on campus to get it checked out. Apparantly it somehow got irritated really badly, and it COULD lead to infection. If the eye gets worse I was told to go to the ER. So I hope the drops I was given will help.

Edit: woke up this morning and my vision was affected. To the ER I go now. Wish me luck, please. :(

Edit 2: Well just got back from the ER. After looking for scratches, rinsing it, then numbing it, they told me to continue using the drops. If my vision CONTINUES to get worse, then I should see the eye doctor Monday. So in essence I wasted 2 hours.

This may sound weird, but try rubbing triple antibiotic ointment on your eyelids....it took care of pink eye when I was little. I always hated those drops, burned like hell.

Still hurts... I dont know whats gonna happen if it gets worse. Hearing "go to the emergency room" isnt cool. Maybe theyll take my eye out. :shocked:

Hey, best of luck with that.

An old farmer saying around here says that you get that from peeing on the side of the road. :) :confused:
