 For the past 2 days my right eyebal feels swollen. It also has alot of clear discharge coming from it. I thought it might be from sleep but it lasts all day. It doesn't hurt or anything. It's semi red but not that bad. Could it be pink eye? I've never had it before....

i'm pretty sure your eye would be pink, if it were pink eye.  lol  I dont know, you should probably get it looked at if it lasts more than a couple of days

it sounds gross but is the discharge sticky at all? I used to get pink eye ALL the time and it felt VERY similar to what youre explaining.

I don't know but if you can spare 10-20$ go to www.justanswers.com and choose to speak to a medical professional.  Then you tell them your symptoms and the Dr. who is choosing to respond will give you a diagnosis.  Mine has been right 100% of the time, and I usually check with them before I make an appt with my dr.  Much cheaper to find out if its serious or not

Yes it is somewhat sticky....isn't it supposed to itch? What do you do when you get pink eye?

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO i WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CONJUNCTIVITIS (PINK EYE) AND MY EYES WERE NOT RED!!! OR PINK!!! I HAD A BURNING FEELING AND MY EYES FELT LIKE THERY WERE LEAKING. AND A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THAT MY SON HAD IT AND HIS DOCTOR NOTICED HIS BECAUSE OF THE DISCHARGE, BUT THEY WERE NOT EVER PINK EITHER. YOU SHOULDNT WAIT  SO LONG TO GO THOSGH-INSURANCE OR NOT. IT COULD CAUSE YOU A SEVERE EYE INFECTION AND CONTAMINATE EVERYONE AROUND YOU AND THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS EMPLOYMENT LAWS ABOUT IT TOO. LIKE MOST EMPLOYERS WILL NOT LET YOU WORK IF YOIU HAVE IT, UNTIL YOU ON THE DROPS FOR 24-48 HOURS. HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE. HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND GET BETTER SOON.
