I have sore eyes for about 6 days now. I feel so frustrated that it hasn't gone away. I was told by my sister that it would go away after 3-4 days but its already 6 days and its still there. I can't go to the office or even out of our house because I don't want to spread the virus. I have tried apply hot compress and even some eye drops but its still have not gone away. This is my first time in my 32 years to have sore eyes and it is such a nuisance. Have you experienced sore eyes lately? How long did it take for it to go away? Can you suggest of ways to make it go away fast?

Are they red? It might be pink eye if so that is contagias. I had that years ago in both eyes for about 2 weeks. It finally went away after I went to a eye doctor and got something to treat it. The best thing to do is wife your eyes with cotton balls and each time you wipe them through the cotton balls away. Don't let no one else use them. I hope if this is what it it you get to feeling better soon.

It certainly is pink eye! My sister and daughter are now having it too. Sad to say that I am now spreading the virus. I can't even go out and go to the office to my frustration and I don't get much work done at home. I just can't afford not to work for 2 weeks. Thanks for responding my friend. May you have a nice and sore free day!

I hope you get over this. I hated having it myself. Of course I had it worser thanks to my dad using my contact case to clean his eyes out and then I used it to put my contact lenses in big mistake. I had to get new contacts and a new contact case lol. It's funny now but then it wasn't at all.

hi cdparazo! ^__^ i hope your sore eyes are gone by now. its really odd that you have it for that long. but i guess cases like that happen. i haven't had sore eyes that stayed for more than 4 to 5 days. and over the last few years, i manage to make it go away after two days. i've never tried hot compress so i don't know if its effective or not. i usually "wash" my eyes with cold water when it starts to itch and get red. and then i would rest it a lot, refrain from tv and computer and just close it for long hours even if i'm not sleeping. and then i would use visine, its really effective for me. i think instead of using a hot compress, you should try a cold compress. sometimes, sore eyes are the result of heat that can't get out of our body. ^__^ get well soon!

I think that the reason why my sore eyes stayed so long because I got so bored and stayed on the computer or TV the whole day. LOL! I just have to amuse myself also by reading pocketbooks. My eyes are so abused. But I am now back to normal. he he he! Thanks for responding!
