Last night, after being on the computer for most of the day, I noticed a slight, dull pain under my right eye. I can only feel this when I blink, and it is more noticeable if I blink harder.

I thought I would be able to sleep it off, but I woke up with the exact same feeling.

That eye is *slightly* swollen (it's "less open" you could say).

It is barely noticeable--something that I usually only feel if intentionally blink a little harder.

Any idea what this could be?

I forget what they call it, but it's like a sore in your eyelid more than likely.

That sounds possible. I can induce it if I press gently on my bottom eyelid.

I think Stye is the word you're looking for.


I'd say monitor the pain. If it gets worse, go see a doctor as soon as you can. Never hurts to be careful with your peepers.

Hmm, I dont think it is a Stye.

This feels like its in the middle of my lower eyelid. Possible though, I guess.
