What Causes Redness In The Eye Along With Severe Pain?
I have my right eye super red and it hurts all the way to the back area of the eyeball. I wear contacts. I had a water spill with toilet water yesterday and I noticed my eye was already hurting prior to being exposed to all the water and powders from taking out carpet and cleaning the floors.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have redness in the eye along with severe pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like eye allergies , conjunctivitis , styes , chalazion or injuries. Sinusitis can also cause such symptoms. I would suggest you to wash your eyes with cold water several times a day , put corticosteroid eye drops in your eyes and take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get better then consult ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and antibiotics . Do not apply any cosmetic product on face and put methyl cellulose eye drops in eye to prevent dryness . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist or sinusitis .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
