Am I paranoid or did I really injure my eye?

Question

While washing my face yesterday, I noticed there was a lot of eye crud around my eyes (I have had sinus issues for a while now). I cleaned it with a facial tissue, rubbing it vigorously over and over again until it was gone.

Afterward, I noticed that the skin was very raw (and burning and red) between my nose and my eye, and ever since then, my eye is really dry. Well, this was last night, and as of right now, the skin feels a bit better, but my eye is still dry.

Last night, and a bit this morning, I am feeling a little dizzy, and a wee bit lightheaded. Can this be related to my injuring, scratching, or drying out the tear sac of my eye? I had heard that these types of injuries resolve themselves within a few days, so I wonder if I am just being paranoid and making myself feel like this.

Will the dryness and occasional pain of the tear sac (very, very minor), go away? When should I see a Doc, if at all?

Answer 1

go get some eye drops for dry eyes and then lay down after putting them in. If your still dizzy after 24hours go to the doctor. since your eyes are dry you might just be straining them which in turn would cause you to be dizzy.
