Woke up this morning and my left eye was extremely swollen on the lower eyelid. I have no idea what the hell caused this. Should I head to the doctor or give it some time? |

Should I head to the doctor or give it some time? Definitely go to the doctor if you go blind. Dibs on your beans and rice and I'm also looking for a small sheet metal screw for my air conditioner that I don't want to go to the hardware store for...if you have one of those then dibs on it too. |

the questions you should ask yourself are:
1) is possible permanent damage worth sitting at home and getting advice on ARFCOM? 2) if 1 occurs, would you curse yourself for being to cheap to pay whatever the cost is to see a doctor that would have saved your vision? some things are worth paying for, eye health is one of them. you only get 2, having only 1 and not having depth perception and a significantly reduced field of vision would be awful. |
That's a white head above your nose
No seriously, commonly called a stye. Develops from a blocked eye lash follicle that gets infected somehow. Either way bacteria got in there caused the infection results in a stye filled with infection/pus. Don't pop it or f'with it, that = infected gunk all over your mucus membrane possibly spreading it. Go to a UCC get an antibiotic for faster relief. 
Oh yeah google is your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stye |
