My left eye is watery with slight pain but is not turning pink. What's wrong?

The tearing up and small pain started yesterday.(as of the time i type this) I thought it'd go away by the morning. So when I woke up today it was less watery w/ no pain but worsened over the day till now. I'm not pouring a fountain out of my eye or whatever, and the pain is minimal. It's only annoying. I would go to the eye doctor, but mine is kinda far and it's hard to set up an appointment...

    What it most is that your eye has a little bit of an infection, but your body is fighting it productively. The pain you are feeling, if it is more of burning feeling, is a natural antibiotic that your eye produces that is present in tears called lysozyme. When it is produced in big enough amounts, usually in response to an antigen (something recognized by the body as foreign), it will burn slightly. You can help your chances of recovery by eating healthy, sleeping enough, and drinking lots of water.

    If it worsens, like becoming red and swollen, see a doctor.

    Eye Watering And Pain

    Could be the start of pink eye, or allergys. You need to see a doctor, not an eye doctor. Could be an ifection so you might need antibiodics. He can even give you medicine for the allergys.

    you may have scratched it by getting a piece of dirt or something in it. it should get better but yo should at least go see your Doctor because you don;t want to get infection in your eye. you could try washing your eye out with water, by splashing it in your eye.

    you could have something in your eye. You could have an infection. If you won't see a Dr. then you'll have to put up with the pain.

    it might just be an irritation or you could have something stuck in there that you can't feel. Have you tried flushing your eye out with some visine or water?

    either make the effort to see your doctor or go to an urgent care. your vision is nothing to screw with. keep your hands out of your eyes and wash well with soap.
