So here’s my weird symptom of the week. I woke up yesterday with itchy eyes. Therefore I rubbed my right eye a bit because it made the itching stop. Then I thought to go and take some Benadryl as the itching was probably allergy related. As I was sitting watching my movie (Chicago, in case you were wondering), I had this persistent feeling like there was something in my eye, not painful, just kind of scratchy and my vision was a little blurry. So I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and noticed that my eyeball was red and swollen. the iris was in a little dip of eyeball flesh and the ball was overlapping the rim of my lower eyelid a bit. Eeeww! I figured it was from the rubbing, so I got a wet washcloth and some ice and I iced down my eye while I chilled out on the couch. Tom brought home some Visine, so I rinsed out my eye. When I did so, I noticed some cloudy stuff, like mucous, come off of the eye. At this point the blurryness cleared up. It felt a lot better too.
This morning when I woke up, my eye is back to the right size and color, and there was a lot of sandy sleep on my eyelashes. I’ll continue to monitor it, but I wonder what caused it. I hope I just have a little allergy related conjunctivitis and not something contagious like pink eye.
