Can A Sinus Infection
23 Answers
affect your eyes. My right eye is still fully bloodshot, this is the third week. I have been to Moorfields eye hospital and they were inconclusive with their diagnosis, they gave me eye drops which don't seem to have any effect. They have told me to come back if it hasn't improved within the week which i will do, but the pain in my face extends over the eyeball, down the right side of my nose and face. Any thoughts?

Mine was a blocked gland on the lower lid of my right eye. Sore, painful, bloodshot eye for about a month. Tears pouring down my face at times. I used to massage the right side of my nose downwards to release some of the moisture.
Having been prescribed Carbomer gel for dry eye in the past I bought a tube and used that. Although it eased the irritation the eye didn't improve right away.
I felt like I was looking through a veil. I did persevere with the massage and gel and now after weeks of discomfort my eye is more or less back to normal. No more watery eyes or pain. Now I just put a bit of gel in my eye in he mornings.
I would contact your optician, doctor or pharmacist and ask about an eye gel instead of drops. Hope you see
some improvement soon .

an update,
went back to Moorfields, where they diagnosed me with scleritis, inflammation of the eye, no wonder it's so painful. Have been given steroid drops and Omeprazole and Naproxen, so will see how that fares. I also had to have a blood test and chest X Ray, talk about thorough. I have to go back in two weeks to do a check up, i am hoping it's cleared up by then.
