What Is The Small Split On The Corner Of My Eye?

hi. I have a small split on the corner of my right eye. it feels like a constant burning sensation. I had someone looking at it and apparently it looks like a very fine cut . I had it for years and I don't know what it is. I remember my grandma was complaining about the same issue but never got it checked by a doctor . could you please help. thank you

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a small split at the corner of the eye.
This can be angular blephariyis or angular conjunctivitis.
This is usually a chronic infection caused by low grade pathogens like Mora Ella lacunata.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and zinc lotions.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
