um ok, not drunk or anything but,
the last day or so, my eye has been like irritated or something , like maybe when you have a pimple or zit forming before you can see it. mainly when I squint so to say I feel this pressure or something ,


now like 2 min ago, I went to the bathroom to look at it an I can see the part that right under the lower eye lashes is all swollen an aliitle red, like there is some build up or something ...

it looks like hell,, any advice here , or should I just drink some beer to numb the slight sting ...

sometime you can get a small eyelash-zit type thing. a sty i think they are called. do you have sensitive eyelashes right now? i would definitely see a doctor or optometrist.... could be serious...i'm not one so i couldnt say.

been near any dust or worksites lately? could be something stuck in your eye... allergies?

i've had a sty or two before... just an infected eyelash from touching it with something on your hand....arm...etc... dunno if thats what is it though. my optometrist had me rub my eyelid/eyelashes with a warm rag a couple times a day, i think it helped. if it IS a sty its just like opening a pimple...but on your eyelid. and one or two eyelashes will be sensitive as SHIT!! tug your eyelashes gently and if you can feel a single one or two that hurts way more, (assuming this ordeal is painful) i'd guess its a little infection on that hair. BUT this could be serious get it checked out ASAP or call your eye doctor at the very least and ask his/her opinion.

good luck.

i hope thats all it is is a sty, never had this before, , well, I was cutting my grass for the past 2 days, an changed my oil today, might have touched my eyes,.

no, my lower eye lashes dont hurt, just that lower sking thats right about ur cheek that hurts a bit , I guess from the pressure...

Lord, I hope it's not contagious because my immune system is feeling kinda wimpy........:aigo:

My vote is something from the yard has irritated it. Have you tried visine or any type of eye flush to see if that helps?

Possibly an ingrown eyelash?
Is there someone there that can take a closer look before you go to the doctor?
If its a zit,(They form in the weirdest places),your gonna be in alot of pain and look like like an extra from the movie,"Eye Herpes;the secret killer"
Go get it checked asap
