i hope this is not the first time

When I was in college I often had a sty, I treated it with ointment. I also had sore eyes when I was a kid and when I was in my twenties, also treated it with eye ointment.

Remember the old superstition that says people who got it are peeping toms?

I had a sty about 10 years ago. I asked my doctor look at it, but he said that it would disappear on its own, and I didn't need treatment. I did disappear on its own, but it took a while. It is possible to use an ointment, but some doctors prefer to avoid treatment unless the problem persists.

I've never had either. I know a couple people who have visibly had styes, not sure what they did about that (you know, you see it but never point it out). At school here, if a kid gets pink eye, they are asked to stay home for days as it is contagious and not return until there is a doctor's note for clearance. None of us have had it, but we've had to keep an eye on just in cases . . . very red eyes that itch like non-stop crazy, watery, and the eyes are kinda stuck shut when waking up from sleep. Me - I've gotten red eyes and itchiness from sleeping without taking my eye make up off properly. I've also gotten it from wearing old makeup. My eyes tend to be watery anyway . . . so I do have to watch it with make up that flakes too easily that could get into my eyes. For me, I've taken a handful of cool water and just dipped an open eye in it (as if I were swimming underwater) - like an eye wash, I guess. You do have to make sure you don't cross contaminate each eye - treat each eye totally separately. Hope your eye gets better soon. Your eyes are everything - so if it's all not going away soon, better to go see a doctor in the early stages if you can!

Both of them, yea, and it is really embarrassing when people look at you because of the kuliti because they thought you peeped a girl, you know, a belief.

i've had both when i was in my teens. i don't recall receiving any treatment. but a scientist friend who's done research on coconut enzymes says taking EVOO a day can help treat sore eyes. about 2 to 3 teaspoons a day.

Pink eyes, yes when I was a kid because it was highly contagious and I got it from a classmate. I remember my mom bought some eye drops, not eye mo or visine but the one prescribed by a doctor. My son experienced it when he was a kid too and it wasn't an eye drop that his pedia recommends but a sort of an ointment type that is applied into the eyes like eye drops. But the effect was way much faster but it was more expensive.

I experienced both.. I had conjunctivitis when I about 4 years old and I still remember how painful it was.. With the sty, I pull a strand of eyelash where it starts to hurt with a tiny lump... for some reasons, it stops the sty from growing.. it heals in a couple of hours..

Maybe you should go to the doctor.

When I was small (and Christmas trees were tall? LOL jk), I always had stye... That's why up to this moment I still have a scar in my lower eyelid... We had tried several medicines and ointments but still, it kept on coming back. Then we went to an "albularyo" and he advised us to offer oil and light a candle outside at 6 in the evening, and to plant a bulb of amaryllis (we call it bakong)... I should be the one to plant it and the top of the bulb should be pointing downwards... After that, I didn't have it anymore... I am healed... I don't know if it's just coincidence... But maybe the medicines I had taken before already took effect... And with the sore eyes, I only experienced it once. And it only lasted for a day. Not even sure if it's just irritated but my teacher sent me home because she said I had sore eyes.

I apply EyeMo right away.

I have got conjunctivitis twice. Once in my High school and once few years back. And it is terrible!

Yes, I've had that kind of discomfort several times. I treat it with an antibiotic cream and maintaining a lot of cleanliness of the affected area.

I’ve had both. The sty I just used warm compresses every few hours and the pink eye well there is viral and bacterial. The viral has to run its course but the bacterial one they treated with some eye drop medication. The sty was a bit sore but the pink eye was terrible it felt like someone was stabbing my eye ??

Because of the hot weather, pink eyes proliferate. I hope it will be fine soon.

I had a viral conjunctivitis, I had to see my ophthalmologist who prescribed specific medications.

oh dear :( 'tis been many years since anybody'n the family's gotten either one. so's i've hardly a clue. hope ya get 't figured out though. ya might wanna see'n eye doc, to make sure yer not doin' more harm than good.

I do hope you haven't got conjunctivitis. It's quite painful.

yes but i didnt put anything in it. it just disappeared.

Years ago and I went to the eye doctor.
