A member asked:

Had stitch removed on wednesday following cornea transplant in september 2019. today eye has been a bit irritated especially in the left corner of my eye. comes and goes. should i be worried or could this be because of the removal of the suture.

Go back to Dr.: If it is still bothering you, you should contact the ophthalmologist. It’s normal for irritation for the rest of the day but not longer .

A member asked:

Hello, I have had my left eye watering constantly for perhaps a week now, and wiping away tears/discharge has now irritated the skin around my eye. Also, it has been painful to press on the inside corner of my eye for quite a few weeks, and I am unsure if this is related. I thought this could be allergies as my head does feel stuffy intermittently, but my new red eye socket (not the eye itself) has motivated me to ask. Thanks, Logan Left Eye Watering?
