Question 1

i have shampoo in my eyes and it is a little red should i seek medical attention ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not needed: Usually all that is necessary is to flush the eyes with water and to allow the natural secretions of the eye wash out the shampoo. If you can sit with your eyes closed this will facilitate this process. At times an ingredient will cause an allergic reaction and the redness may not resolve with just flushing. There are over the counter products that can help and the pharmacist can show you.

Question 2

there's a bump feeling on my eye cause a shampoo sachet just cut my eye. and then there's a small red cut on my eye. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Wash the eye.: Wash the eye with distilled water. You may have to use an ophthalmic ointment. Please consult an Ophthalmologist if it does not improve in 24 hours. If it hurts and light bothers you you may have to use an eye patch.

Question 3

one eye=bit bloodshot+redness around iris. vision not great that eye for couple months. been red a few days shampoo in it. quickest doctors=6 jan help?

Accepted Answer

Need an eye exam: Unfortunately there is no way to know what is causing redness and poor vision without examining your eye.

Question 4

i got head & shoulders shampoo in my eyes in the shower 15 hours ago. my eyes are still red on the cornea and they are irritated. what should i use?

Accepted Answer

: There are several artificial tear products on the market that should help reduce the irritation. Systane and Refresh are two pricier ones that are quite helpful compared to dollar store options.

Question 5

my eyes turned red after using heads and shoulders pyrithione zinc dandruff shampoo, and i did not rinse with water. can it damage my eyes?

Accepted Answer

: The concentrations of ingredients in  the shampoo are not enough to cause corneal burns, but they are very irritant and, your eyes are inflamed, and tender. You may need to get some eye drops with a steroid in it if they keep being painful and red another day. Your PCP can help you

Question 6

stye x5d was good then over the course of the day got really swollen. feels like sandpaper when i blink when i move my eye it hurts so bad i get nauseous and my eyeball is now all red hot compresses with baby shampoo no relief?

Accepted Answer

Stye:  If you are using red hot compresses - that is way too hot for the eye &amp; the delicate tissues surrounding it.   Compresses should be warm. The shampoo could also cause irritation.  At this point, it sounds like injury has occurred and medical assessment is warranted.

Question 7

i woke up with an extremely red eye. half of the white of my eye is solid red. it is not sore and vision is fine. should i seek medical attention?

Accepted Answer

Red eye: Yours sounds like a sub conjunctival hemorrage. Usually from rubbing your eye, possibly while you sleep. Usually no cause for concern, the whole white of your eye will turn red then slowly clear over a couple of weeks. If you get frequent recurrances or easy bruising you should get your blood check for bleeding abnormalities.

Question 8

i hit my head on the sidewalk and got a really bad black eye from it. half of the white part of my eye is solid red do i need medical attention?

Accepted Answer

Red eye: If there is no blurry vision or eye pain, you  may just have a sub conjunctival hemorrhage and can give it time to resolve. If you have blurry vision, eye pain and/or light sensitivity, you may have ocular inflammation (uveitis), and should see an ophthalmologist promptly.

Question 9

i have a lg dark red raised pimple on the white of my eye (inner corner).  what is it & does it require urgent medical attention?   eye feels sore.

Accepted Answer

"pimple on sclera": Typically this is a pingueculum if it does not invade the cornea or a pterygium if it does. They appear usually at the 3 and 9 o'clock position, the area most exposed to sun wind and floating particulate matter in air. No urgency. The become inflamed often and the eye becomes uncomfortable. At times mild steroid drops are needed. With inflammation soreness is common. Sometimes surgery is indicated.

Question 10

i can see and feel a small cut on the outer red part of my eye. i've had medical tests done and have nothing abnormal. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Angular blepharitis: It is not uncommon at that location for constant dampness (due to tears and secretions) to cause the skin to break down and crack.  The best treatment for this is to keep the area clean with a warm moist towel once daily and use an ointment such as vaseline to coat the area 2-3 times daily until healed.  In persistent cases it may be necessary to have an antibiotic ointment prescribed.
