A member asked:

My eyes are really dry and the corner of the inside of my eye is red and purple and burns what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities: Inflammation from a virus, dry eyes, infection are all possible. Artificial tears will sooth all of these, but you should see an eye doctor for diagnosis and proper treatment.
