Help. suddenly i cant see from one eye?

Question

i woke up a few minutes ago becuase my eye was stinging like crazy. when i opened my eyes, i couldnt see well from that eye. its really bad and im scared. what is it? please help

Answer 1

go to the nearest hospital immediately- and here's why... even if it's nothing (and it probably is)  there's a chance it could be a sign of something serious!  you NEVER want to take chances with your vision!  at all!  ever!  only a doctor can determine exactly what's going on - and it IS 'better to be safe than sorry'!  sudden eye pain or change in vision can be a symptom of something you DO NOT want to put off treating!  plus- won't you feel a lot better when you know for sure?  please go now!  and good luck..!  

Answer 2

Stinging sounds like allergies; from what i don't know.

Do warm compresses...(warm wash cloth to the eye for 15 minutes 3-6 times a day)

If that doesn't help after a day then consult with your optometrist.

It could be anything from a corneal abrasion to an corneal ulcer......

Answer 3

not sure what it could be but get yourself to an optician or hospital, it could just be temporary, but get some proffesional advice.

Answer 4

When that happened to me I FREAKED OUT. I dont know how it was with you, but when it happend to me, i could see but it was kinda blurry. At first I thought that it was because I had just woken up, but I started rubbing my eyes. I started with my left eye and I was still seeing blurry. When I rubbed my right eye, I noticed that my vision was perfect. I rubbed my left eye again and it was blurry as h**l

Needless to say, it FREAKED ME THE h**l OUT! I made an  appt with an Opthamologist and he came up with Keratoconus (basically the shape of my cornea had changed slightly). I can't say that its what you have, but you should try make an appt with an opthamologist as soon as you can.

Answer 5

Well, you could either use the "Yahoo Answers guide to opthalmology" or see a doctor.

Hard call, really.

Answer 6

Go to the doctor immediately. It might be some contagious problems.
