Eye Infection? Pink Eye?
Is this an eye infection? And is it pink eye?
My eyes look pink/reddish and it feels gritty. Sometimes it feels like I can't open them completely. Today, my vision's starting to blur, should I see a doctor?
The only difference it has to pink eye is that my eyes are dry and there's no discharge.
What should I do?

It could very well be pink eye. Your symptoms sound like mine when I had pink eye. It is very contageous. Go to the Doctor. He will give you a prescription for a salve that you put in your eye. we had quite a problem at school with pink eye a few years ago.

Go see your doctor or eye doctor. ASAP! Also don't touch them and touch anything else without washing your hands. Pink Eye is VERY, VERY contagious. After you go to the doctor and get meds., make sure that you wash anything that your face has touched since you came down with it. Bed sheets, pillowcase, wash cloth and towel. Spray your couch, car headrest with something that is antibacterial/antimicrobial. That will kill any type of bacteria that is on anything that you've touched and will keep from you or someone that you've come in contact with from getting it.

Do you wear contacts? Even if you don't, it sounds like a symptom of eye strain and possibly an infection. I'd go to an eye doctor for a check-up.

Pink eye is usually accompanied by discharge (waking up with your eyes mattered shut) You could still have it, or a foreiegn body, or abrasions... Don't take chances with your vision, it's precious! Get to a Doctor!

See a doctor you don't want to wait to long when your eye sight is concerned

Maybe infection, maybe allergy, because both of them got worse. It would be wise to see a doctor.

If you have pink eye, you will get this gooey yellow stuff coming out of your eye.
