Do I have Pink Eye?

Question

Last night, my eye began to hurt, when i blinked it felt like something was rubbing the inside of my eye. Then it began to water really really bad. I went to look in the mirror to see if i had somthing stuck in my eye, and my eye was very redish pink where it used to be white, i took out my contacts, because i thought maybe that was the problem, well it wasnt it still hurts... i have had a cold lately, and alot of alleries, so i thought that could be it, but thenn my friend sugested pink eye, so do i have pink eye?

Answer 1

Could be. Pink eye can be caused by allergies, bacteria and even viruses. Apply a wet wash cloth to the eye for pain relief. Also place cucumber slices on the eye to reduce swelling. You can also use saline drops to see if that helps. if your symptoms don't improve call your doctor and tell him/ her you suspect pink eye.

Answer 2

Go see your eye doctor. Although no one can tell you for sure on here, your symptoms sound like pink eye. Pink eye can easily be acquired from bacteria that get on the CL's of contact lense users.

Answer 3

no one can tell you by your description, you have to see a doctor, it is very contagious, so don't touch your face and keep washing your hands or you might pass it to someone else.

Answer 4

Could be. Really can't tell from one day. Contacts could be contaminated.
