Painful to open my left eye?!
Question: Painful to open my left eye.?
Well I was showering and got soap in my eye, there was a painful sting. After I was done showering, suddenly my left eye stung like crazy. Made my eye water. It been lasting for couple hour. I checked the mirror to see my eye, and saw that there's a really small cut on it. I lightly poked it to see if the cut was really there. It was. I applied eye drop on the eye. Should I just rest and use eye drop for couple of days and wait it to heal.? OR go to the doctor to check it up.? Thanks in Advance!Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I'm not an expert to eye stuff, but a cut to your eye could be serious. If you can get an infection to your finger with a paper cut, then an infection to your eye could be serious, may even cause blindness. I had a cut on my eyelid before but not exactly in the eye. I ignored it and it healed up. But if the cut is inside your eyelid, I suggest you take a visit to the Doctor and ask about infections to the eyeHealth Question & Answer
