who long will this last??? pink eye

Do you wear contacts? I have had some eye problems. If you do wear contacts, you are probably wearing them too much and sleeping with them in. If this is the case, see an eye doctor. If you don't wear contacts, it could be a scratched cornea. Have you exposed your eyes to any bacteria lately, i.e. pool, lake, etc. I severley scratched my corneas in a hot tub due to bacteria and sounds kind of similar. It is most likely bacterial pink eye.The bacteria that most commonly cause infectious pink eye are staphylococci, pneumococci, and streptococci. Bacterial pink eye symptoms include:

eye pain,
swelling,
redness, and
a moderate to large amount of discharge, usually yellow or greenish in color.
The discharge commonly accumulates after sleeping. Affected children may awaken most unhappy that their "eyes are stuck shut," requiring a warm wash cloth applied to the eyes to remove the discharge and lots of reassurance that their "eyes still work!" This bacterial pink eye responds to repeated warm wash cloths applied to the eyes (try applying these to your child's eye one eye at a time during a favorite video!) and antibiotic eye drops or ointment prescribed by your doctor.

Be careful not to use medication prescribed for someone else, or from an old infection, as these may be inappropriate for your current infection or may have been contaminated from other infections by accidentally touching the medicine bottle to infected areas. A safe, effective, and "less-scary-for-your- child" method of putting drops into the eyes involves asking your child to lie down flat, suggesting she merely "close your eyes" and placing the recommended number of drops in the inner corner of the eye, next to the bridge of the nose, and letting them make a little "lake" there. When your child relaxes and opens the eyes, the medicine will flow gently into the infected mucous membranes without the need to "force open" the eyes.

When you feel that you or your child might have bacterial pink eye, it is very important to see your doctor immediately for several reasons. First, if the cause is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic will be needed to help the infection-fighting immune system to kill this infection. Secondly, if you are experiencing other symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, earache, etc., there is a good chance that these symptoms are caused by the same bacteria and an oral antibiotic may very well be needed to reach these germs along with the antibiotic drops or ointment for the eyes. Finally, your doctor will want to exclude the possibility that the infection has spread to areas where the symptoms may not yet be recognizable.

you need to see a doctor it could be conjujnctivitis

Do you wear contacts? Make sure you take it out if u do. Go to the doc immediatly

Sounds like it's pink eye. Yes, it is very contageous. Rinse your eye out about once an hour by putting warm water in your cupped hand then put your eye in it and and blink a lot. Do this a few times each time you rinse. As far as it being crusty when you woke up - picking it off can make your eye swell more - just wipe very gentle with a warm washclothe until it is gone (sometimes it can take a little while). Try not to touch your eyes with your hands - if you do wash them because it can spread to your other eye. Good luck!!

yea..my lil bro woke up with the same complaint...but the thing is that whit sutff seesm like puss, and the best thing you can do it heat it, like put a hot cloth and a iron then put it on your eye...thats the fastest healing remidy to my knowldge

sounds like conjujnctivitis .. go to the doctor and he'll give you drops. dont go near anyone, its reallllll contagious. you cant go to school for like 4 days either. fun!

sounds like an infection . You need to see the eyedoctor! Check to see in your neighbor hood if there is one open today on saturday

Conjunctivitis causes redness of the conjunctiva (the white of the eye and inside the eyelids), usually of both eyes. This may be sore, itchy, burning and sometimes extremely painful. There may also be a dislike of bright light.

If the cause is a bacterial infection, there may a discharge of white/yellow sticky pus from the eye. This may crust on the eyelashes and glue the eyelids together, especially after sleep.

If an allergen is causing the conjunctivitis, the eyes may be swollen, itchy and produce a thin, watery discharge.i suffer from this and regularly use eye drops.

If you suspect conjunctivitis, your doctor will be able to confirm the diagnosis.Simply cleaning the eyes may be all that's needed to help the condition settle on its own

Bacterial conjunctivitis, however, needs swift treatment with antibiotics, either in the form of eye ointment or drops.

Viral conjunctivitis in older children is less serious, but may still be treated with antibiotics if a bacterial cause can't be ruled out. As it's contagious, you should stay at home
Allergic conjunctivitis is treated with anti-inflammatory eye drops. Gentle bathing of the eye and lashes with cooled boiled water may help.
