What should i do? i have pain in outer corner of eye when blinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lid infection: The most common cause of pain of the type you describe when blinding is an early stye of the outer portion of the lid. Look for local redness in that area and touch to see if there is tenderness. Styes are best treated early with frequent application of heat from a warm soaked washcloth. If this does not work and the pain persists for more than 3-5 days, then see your ophthalmologist.
