Question 1

have a white spot on my eye, with local redness it is very painful. i called teladoc and got antibacterial eyedrops but they aren't working?

Accepted Answer

Need to be seen: You should be seen by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.  There are many conditions that could cause a painful, red eye with a white spot.  These types of things are not effectively diagnosed over the phone and in most cases require an eye doctor to examine you.

Question 2

about 1 week ago i awoke with a single red eye but only in the inner corner. it has remained in that spot for a week and my eye feels uncomfortable.

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist: The eye probably has a small hemorrhage in the sclera which will go away in time.  The problem is that this is less likely since you are symptomatic.  Do  not fool with the eye.  Vision is precious and you will do yourself a favor by being seen and making sure this is nothing more severe.  Go over to the eye center on mohammed ali.  They should be still open. Call first.

Question 3

i have a moveable fluid pocket in the conjunctiva. i have a yellow/brown spot with this too on sclera. no pain or red. eye feels sluggish and watery?

Accepted Answer

Picture : Even with your good description, I think this  requires a picture at least.

Question 4

red eye lids with very small white spots?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities : A few possibilities include allergy, blepharitis, rosacea, and contact dermatitis. See an ophthalmologist to get a precise diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

red eye lines , red spots on the corner of eye .. play my phone a lot .. eye degree 500+ . wearing specs .. no eye drops nothing else help please !

Accepted Answer

Depends how long?: If you've just noticed it now, and it's not hurting, and just red spot, make sure your doctor watches it. If it's spreading, painful, and you keep touching it, or related to possible dust orbacteria from phone use, or a recent viral cold, and no discharge, try using lubricating saline drops (without perservative).Then, have your eye doctor examine you fully. It could be just irritated capillaries.

Question 6

irritated and red eye on right side of iris to the corner, contact wearer, feels scratchy. no white spots or any ulcer. worse with contact out?

Accepted Answer

Dryness is possible: A common cause of redness and irritation with contacts is dryness.  Other issues are contact lens overwear and improper management.  Are you removing the lens each night?  Are you rinsing it well after cleaning before insertion?   Check with the initial fitter of the lens to see if some changes need be made.

Question 7

in regards to retinal detachment, symptoms are red eye, blurry vision, black spots and lights, pain at times, noticeable dimness all in one eye only

Accepted Answer

Several things: Retinal detachment rarely causes a red eye or pain.  There are a number of things that could cause your symptoms including an internal inflammation termed uveitis.  You should quickly make an appointment with an ophthalmologist as some of the possibilities are serious and vision threatening.

Question 8

how can i remove my eye redness?

Accepted Answer

"red out" drops: If the redness is from allergy, dryness, or irritation, then "gets the red out" drops can whiten the eye.  This is useful for pictures and social occasions but should not be used chronically as this type of drops is drying.  Use lubricating or tear replacement drops for chronic use.

Question 9

what do you recommend for eye redness?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If due to hemorrhage under the conjunctiva (over the whites of the eyes), then nothing matters and it will clear nicely.  If infectious, you might need medication depending upon the cause.  If due to overwork, dryness or a terrific night out, then non-medicated lubricating drops might be all you need.

Question 10

what can i do about stinging eye redness?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Eye stinging and redness can be from dry eye, allergy, low grade infections like blepharitis, and from exposure to airborne irritants. An eye exam can help determine the cause and treatment plan. Artificial tears can help relieve most symptoms and causes, especially preservative free ones.  Avoid otc allergy drops and "get the red out" drops as these are relatively toxic to the eye.
