Question 1

why do i sometimes have red eye, pain in eyes and flashing lights?

Accepted Answer

Visit a Doctor: When you are experiencing symptoms like the ones you are describing, the best recommendation is to visit an ophthalmologist  
they will conduct a dilated exam to see what is causing those flashing lights.

Question 2

my eye hurts from the outside & its alittle swollen.. no pus or red eye jst sensitive to the light what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Eye issue: Your description sounds like ocular surface dryness causing your symptomology.  I would try frequent artificial tears during the day, ointment at night, omega-3 fatty acid supplements, and warm lid compresses.  You can also try avoiding fan, getting humidifiers, protective eyewear while outdoors, and others.  If no improvement, punctal plugs or oth.

Question 3

i have an extreme red eye. hurts a lot. i don't have money for medication. im not sure what caused it.

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Hi,
If your eye is red and sore you need to be seen.  There are many causes and I can't tell you what it is without seeing you.  If you go to an ER they will see you without asking for money up front.  Most ER's have people that can help you navigate our very complicated health system and get you any benefits you qualify for.  Do not ignore your symptoms, your sight is not something to gamble with

Question 4

Question 5

my 3 yo daughter is experiencing red eyes (side: both eyes), itchy eyes, sensation of something in eye, watery eyes, and eye irritation. she not experiencing allergic reaction, sneezing, eye pain, light sensitivity, runny nose, or nasal congestion.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Eye irritation can be from allergies to pollens and other allergens, or from irritants like wind or chemicals. Some people have blepharitis, an infection of the lids' edges. Conjunctivitis can be a viral or bacterial infection of the inner surface of the lids and outer surface of the eyeballs. Some people have sensitive skin on the lids, called eyelid eczema, that can lead to lids and eye redness.

Question 6

what could it mean if i have one red eye and one white eye in a photo?

Accepted Answer

Leukocoria: We've all seen people with red eyes in photos (a normal light reflex off the retina, the back of the eye), but when one eye is white (leukocoria), while it may be nothing, it may be the sign of a serious eye problem, like a retinal detachment, or a tumor in the eye.  Please keep in mind that these bad things are very rare, but in any case you should visit your eye doctor for a dilated eye exam now

Question 7

i have a red eye(one eye) and kind of mild headache or cloudy headache, what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Possibly a viral syndrome with viral conjunctivitis. However, can't verify that with available information.

Question 8

my 8 yr old's inner corner of one eye is red. no pain, itching or swelling. it's been like that for 2 days.

Accepted Answer

Brocken Blood Vessel: Most probably he rubbed the eye accidentally or subconsciously, causing tear of a small blood vessel with resultant small bleeding called subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will resolve in a week or two. Not to worry.

Question 9

what to do if i had a photo taken of me on christmas and noticed that what to do if i had one red eye and one white eye! is that a bad thing?

Accepted Answer

Eye exam: The difference could be just in the light reflection from positioning of the camera. But it could also be something more serious like a cataract present in one eye. The difference between the two eyes certainly warrants a thorough eye exam by an ophthalmologist, even if you don't notice anything unusual with your vision.

Question 10

i get one red eye every few weeks, its always the same eye and it tends to happen over night so i wake up with a blood shot eye!

Accepted Answer

See your doc: you ought to have this problem checked out by either an ophthalmologist or your family doc
