eye trouble

[kitten_uk2]

Hi my hubby has had trouble with his left eye for about a week, its really blood shot and it hurts him to look at bright light, he hates the doctors and is reluctant to go. it did calmed down yestaday but today is worse than ever and he can hardly open it because it hurts that much. any ideas?

He may have scratched the surface, I did this a week ago, drive him to A and E, they will examine his eye, and put in some anaesthetic drops, this will make him feel a lot better.

Is there any sticky gunge on a morning? if so it may be bacterial conjunctivitus, this can be treat without seeing a gp! You can buy antibiotic drops from any chemist. Personally if it was me i wouldnt take any chances i would definatley visit gp, optition or your local A & E. good luck!!!

Please take him to A & E or his GP. Eyes are so precious dont leave it any longer.
