A member asked:
Woke up with a red eye and discharge around it. there's no pain but it feels slightly irritated. and it's still really red?

This sounds like a red hot case of conjunctivitis which is an infection of the white of the eye for which antibiotic eye drops or ointment is prescribed. See your physician or ophthalmologist for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

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?
