Red eye with light sensitivity

Recommended Posts

Hey all. This last week I developed eye redness in my right eye and it's now painful with any light I look at. I went to an urgent care yesterday and she thinks conjunctivitis but wasn't sure. I have antibiotic eye drops to use. It hurts my eye just to look at my phone screen. Anyone had something like this before?

Yes, but mine was a bit different.  Be careful.  As I used the eye drops, my vision started to fog.  After the ten days, my one eye was like a thick fog.  The doctor told me to go to the ophthalmologist they referred me to.   I ended up with acute glaucoma, and needed steroids and glaucoma drops to recover.
