Blepharitis: Your description sounds like blepharitis and an early stye. Try warm compresses, artificial tears during the day, and ointment at night. If no improvement, see an eye doctor.

I have a painful and very red eye: sensitive to light and sore to the touch. The pain is coming from underneath the centre of the upper eyelid. It began with redness two days ago, some discomfort yesterday and progressively worse through the day.

Hi there. I have a pain in the right side of my eye. Its more the eye socket and skim around the eye then the actual eye ball. It causes discomfort when blinking and is sore to the touch. There are no signs of redness or inflammation. ?
