When I woke up, my eye was red?

Question

Hi, When I woke up, my eye felt like it had something in it, so i just dabbed water in it with a wet cloth, didn't help. When I looked in the mirror, it was all red. I dont think I left my contact lens in because it is there in the case right now.

Whats Wrong?

Symptoms:

-Eye is red

-Eye feels like it has something in it, kinda like the feeling when there is dirt under your contacts

- Eye doesn't hurt persay, but I keep having to rub it like I have to get something out of it.

Who knows, its extremely irritating.

Answer 1

there can be two possible things-1.some insect might would have gone inside or 2. some infection . so in both the cases you should consult a doctor

Answer 2

Your contact lens may have caused a small scratch which can be very painful, especially if it gets infected.See your doctor as you wouldn't want to risk getting a corneal ulcer.

Answer 3
