I took a nap and when I woke up it felt like I had a dozen needles in my eye..it is dry but wont stop watering. It is also red like (not blood like red)..and my vision is blurred in that one eye.My other eye is fine. SO yeah I know people are going to say "goto the DR"..I dont think its DR worthy but has this happened to anyone else? Also..I thought it would just pass but its been hours now.

Right, and when you're in pain an adult does the following:

a) posts on the internet

b) goes to a doctor

Only one answer is correct!

Well first off you should try rinsing your eye out maybe, like get water in a clean glass and then kinda hold the glass up against your eye and swoosh the water all over yourself, and then maybe give it til tomorrow to see if it gets better.

If it gets all gloopy and conjunctivitis-y though then definitely go to the doctor and/or optician.

go to bed and see how it is in the morning. Don't sleep face down and avoid pressure. I am sure it will be fine, but if it doesn't go see a doctor

I did run it under cold water for 2 minutes and it eased the pain but it just came back.. @DE Onw I'm an Adult two - WHy not ask OT ? maybe they had this happen before as well and maybe they will share advice like MissLibrarian just did.

You said it's been hours. I assumed you tried washing your eye out or at least hecked it out to make sure you didn't accidently scratch it in your sleep or something. It will PROBABLY go away on its own, but it's always best to go to the doctor anyway when it regards sensitive areas like the eye.

Scratching it would make sense..It the pain hasn't gone down in the morning I'll go see my DR for eye drops or wehatever they do to make it stop. ANd my qoute to MissL made me realise I'm an idiot..I flushed it with well water not tap.

Are you perhaps able to go purchase some sort of soothing eye-drops from your local branch of a pharmaceutical chain?

This does not sound normal. I would recommend going to a doctor as soon as possible. If it is something serious, you'll be glad that you caught it earlier rather than later.

Some adults don't have medical insurance. Option A looks much better to them unless they're sure that they're dying or something serious like that.

Sounds like a case of pink eye to me, Don't mess with it and give some time. You should go to a doctor after a week though

99% chance it's pink eye, although I wouldn't wait a week to go to the doctor. It is also contagious so make sure you wash your hands. You can also spread it to your other eye. So stop touching your eye.

You can use a hot compress like a very hot, wet towel(not too hot of course). That may help it to pop. Otherwise don't try to pop it and it will pop on it's own.

I'm going to say you have pink eye. You need to see a doctor to prescribe you some eye drops. Not 100% sure, but seems to be the symptoms of pink eye.

If your eyelids didnt fully close when you slept, your front of the eye - the cornea - could have dried out and caused you to get a corneal abrasion. They tend to be very painful or irritating, cause your vision to get foggy, and give you the sensation that something is in the eye causing tearing. It should heal within 1 to 2 days. Try buying and using some of those artificial tears at the drug store.

If you are a contact lens wearer and slept with your contacts in, you could potentially have a serious eye infection and I would recommend seeing your eye doctor.
