What Causes Redness On The Inner Part Of Eyelid?
Hi im Dan and for the past months the outer part of my eyes under the eyelid have been red. When i pull down the bottom eyelid it is also red. I some times sleep late but i usually sleep about 5-6 hours on weekdays. Everyday i would feel like my eyes are too dry and when i focus it would burn my eyes. I would blink to try and makektfeel better and it ll burn while i have my eyes shut then it would stop. Lately there have been reported cases of Ebola in US so im pretty paranoid about it. I came down with a sudden fever but it is flu season and i haven t taken my flu shot. I look at my eyes and they are pretty red in the corners still. It might be in my head but they seem redder. Yesterday i ddnt get enough sleep because of fever/flu/stress about my sickness. Im still unsure of what it is but the red eyes might be from the lack of sleep that night, which was 3 hours. Is there anything really wrong with me?

you are not having e bola since you do not have physical contact with a lady having e bola. in your case you are having dry eye syndrome since on blinking there is spread of tear film. you should start applying refresh eye tear drop 3times a day. otherwise red eye can be due to allergy or lack of sleep, even taking to much alcohol. so you can identify itself with the cause. in allergy there will be itching
