I have conjunctivitis in my eyes,
I was wondering if it is possible to have an 'ulcer ' in your eye??
cos when I lift one of my lids I can see something like an ulcer, I know I shouldnt play around with my eyes but its impossible when theyre constantly leakin cr*p, it hurts relly bad too one is worse than the other it is really swollen and red I have had conjunctivitis before so i already have some fucithalmic acid drops for them but I'm going to an 18 hour long festival on saturday and I dont want anything to come in the way of having a good time,
anything I can do to make them get better quicker?? anything to stop this cr*p leaking out ?

Bed rest for 48 hours and eye douches every 6 hours.

You need to go see a therapeutic optometrist. Just look in your phone book. And if you're wearing contact lenses, STOP, for the love of God, because that only makes it worse. Odds are, you may not even have conjunctivitis (just a fancy name for pink eye), you may have something else, and it probably isn't the same thing you had last time. Bring in the drops, let them know its an emergency, and tell the doctor everything. Be honest!

If you wear contacts you must take them out. I had something kind of like this happen to me last summer, I was really sensitive to light, and my optometrist later told me that I had scar tissue from an ulcer. I wouldn't go to a festival because you could spread it, and you'll probably be in a ton of pain.

If it is an ulcer it could cause permanent vision loss if you do not go to your optometrist and get appropriate treatment. If you do wear contact lenses you MUST stop wearing them. Call your eye doctor and describe your symptoms so they will tell you to come right in and get examined.

This infection is curable. In foreign countries people die from lack of treatment. Take your medicine. Your eyes are nothing to play around with.

if you feel like your seeing something like an ulcer, I would go to the doc IMMEDIATELY! From your description it doesn't sound too good. sounds like a really bad infectin but i'm not a doc. just go to one as soon as you can.

teramycin optical ointment. I know it works on me, but now don't get all squimish on me. This is marketed for dogs. But it is perfectly safe for you to use. Go to the pet store and ask for it. or your vet will have it or if there is a feed store in your town go there they should have it also.
Alternative is the eye doctor, or doctor period.
Works for me dude. and I don't bark or have fleas either.
