Swollen Eyelid, Pus Formation And Watering From The Eyes. What Is It?
My upper, left eyelid was swollen but not as bad now, I had yellow gunk coming out of my eye yesterday but today it just is watering, and I feel like I have send in my eye. If I lay flat on my back with both eyes closed I can get some relief. I am on vacation in St. Maarten or I already would have gone to a doctor. I just noticed that my left eyelid looks like it's starting to peel while my right one isn't, and my right eye is fine. Could I possibly have sunburned my eyeball?

If there is yellow discharge you possibly have contacted some infection. The feeling having Sand in your eye(foreign body sensation) with watering suggests your cornea(black/dark portion of your eye) might be inflammed.
The eyelids peel if they remain swollen for long.
Do you have any diminution of vision associated.
Please see your ophthalmologists.
