Question 1

my daughter & i both woke up with redness in the inner corner of our eyes. hers is bright red mine is more pink. eyes are not crusty or irritated?

Accepted Answer

Could be allergic: If the crusting increases, or the eye is painful and draining, it may be a pink eye.
only bacterial conjunctivitis needs treatment. You could try an OTC product called Zaditor (ketotifen) eye drops.
If any worse it should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 2

the septum in my nose is bright red and painful. no trauma, bleeding or sores to the area. my face hurts, skin is dry as well as eyes and mouth. what can i do to make the pain and redness go away?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin: Are you talking about the skin IN the nose or on the outside between the nostrils as well as skin on the face? I would recommend trying vaseline or Eucerin Aquaphor for the dry skin.

Question 3

good day, my eye is red and painful especially when i see something that is bright, which medication can assist?

Accepted Answer

Eye pain: I’m concerned that you may have some kind of iritis, which is suggested by your combination of eye redness and pain worsened by light. You need a prompt evaluation by an ophthalmologist, who can determine what med can help.

Question 4

hi when i close my left and look with my right eye on bright white it has a red tint and when i look with my right eye its bright white. help?

Accepted Answer

See an eye doctor: Possible refractive error or color perception. Please see an ophthalmologist.

Question 5

woke up with bright red bubble in
white of my eye under my lid, spread a bit more over the next day, no pain, my son noticed it, i am scared, advice!

Accepted Answer

Sounds like:  a sub-conjunctival bleed (tiny vessel in the lining surrounding the eye) ...and is NOT associated with any diseases. (Sometimes seen with episode of harsh coughing)
Hope this is helpful

Question 6

can a bright red light damage your eyes?

Accepted Answer

Prob not: What is the source?   If its the setting sun, yes.  If its from led, no.  If its an argon laser, yes.  It also depends on how long was your eye exposed.

Question 7

bright red eyes in a photo, could it indicate a medical condition?

Accepted Answer

No: The red eyes in photos is a reflection of the flash off of the retina.    However if one eye is red and the other is not, there could be an eye problem present.

Question 8

how could  i get an eye lash out of my eye, it went in yesterday with constant pain and now bright red?

Accepted Answer

Eye cup rinses.: Using an eye cup with warm water is usually the easiedt and most available way to get a foreign object out of your eye. Since your eye is so inflamed, you probably should seek care from a doctor to getit out, treat your inflamed eye and get you some pain relief.

Question 9

woke up with blood in the white part of her right corner eye.
it is not spotted but solid bood bright red? what to do?

Accepted Answer

Eye hemorrhage : Sounds like you have a bruise ( hemorrhage ) in the whites of your eyes ( conjunctiva) which appears tomato ketchup red and is usually due to rubbing the eye, forceful sneezing or coughing , &/or being on blood thinners. Generally not a sign of more serious problems like a bleeding or blood disorder. Eye drops for moisture if dry or for allergies if itchy are usually sufficient. Disappears ~ 2 wks.

Question 10

my eyes are so itchy i itched them so bad now there bright red and the white in my right eye is a bit like mushy... i'm scared?

Accepted Answer

DON'T TOUCH!: This sounds like an allergy response. Please be evaluated as during your itching you may have actually caused some damage to your eyeball. Please be seen by your doctor. Don't scratch your eyes!
