I woke up the other morning anf my eyes were matted up and swollen. I wet my eyes with a warm cloth.?

Question

But the rest of the day my eyes were very bloodshot and swollen. The next day they were a little better but have not got back to normal. They are still red and somewhat swollen. Someone said it was pink Eye but it does not itch. I think it may just be allergies. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Pink eye

Conjunctivitus

Allergies

Anything is possible.  Go buy some Visene for allergies.  Should help the redness.

Answer 2

A mild eye infection does not have to itch.

If it was an allergy, it must be to something you only came in contact with that one time. Otherwise it would be like that all the time, not getting better. Allergies like hayfever also tend to affect your nose more than your eyes.

Ordinary over the counter eye drops may relieve the soreness a little while they recover by themselves.

Answer 3

It also could just be a cold in your eye.  Sometimes it is a sign that your immune system is low, and you are going to come down with a cold.  Add some vit C to your diet and a garlic supplement.  It will help build you immune system.  Just keep doing the warm water on them and don't rub them or pull on them to open them.  You should notice an improvement.

Answer 4

i think u have pink eye. i had pink eye but it didnt itch. i thought it was allergies too, but i went to the doctor and they told me it was pink eye. ask the doctor, if u have pink eye, get some eye drops and in a week or so, your pink eye will be gone

Answer 5

Conjunctivitis. Very catchy. It can clear up on its own or get an ointment from the doc.
