Veiny red sore eye 6 weeks on now after a twig got in it - and white stuff in eye

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi attached is a pic of my eyes... my left eye (right on the pic) got a small conifer hedge clipping in it about 6 weeks ago which was painful.. and it was sore for the day.. since then its weeped and been red across the eye.. but more worryingly Ive noticed a white fluffy blob on the white of the eye

I suppose it most resembles a "Pingueculum" but its just weird, never had it before, only ever since the hedge cutting went in eye... having said that my job is outdoors all week in UV and wind (both these can cause and affect Pingueculum... just wondered if you could offer up anything, as Im thinking of going to docs otherwise...

It weeps nearly all day now

    Good idea to have it checked out by a doctor. If it were me, I'd go to my ophthalmologist.

    According to me, The problem seems quite critical and i advice you to schedule an appointment with an eye specialist to get rid of the situation. I personally suggest you to wear sunglasses or contact glasses to avoid direct contact with your eye or Pingueculum and avoid any serious condition.

    I think its more likely to be a chemosis caused as a result of the injury to your eye. You may need some antibiotic eye drops from your doctor as your eye still looks pink.
