Is there any eye drops available for infected eyes over the counter…woke up yesterday and my left eye was sooo swollen and stuck shut!:w00t: after warm water it was ok…got up this morning and i look like someones walloped me! eye is red and puffy don’t have time for visit to the doc anyone got any remedies???
I’d go visit an Optician or call in to see a Pharmacist, they are pretty useful these days and no appointment needed, GP’s are a pita the last few years.
You can get this over the counter - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChloramphenicolOptrex do drops including it, but there will be others.
If it not better with the drops, see Dr ASAP becasue eye infections can get very nasty.Edit - whatever you do, don’t read the bit about side effects! :w00t:BTW, also take an antihystamine. Your symptoms could be allergic conjuntivitis caused by dust etc in the eye.
I find Brolene (sp?) quite effective. You can get it over the counter.
I would try and visit the Doc, my flatmate had a very swollen, red, watery eye a couple of months ago. We popped down to A&E only to find out that she had a bacterial infection in the eye and if she had left it any longer would have lost the sight in one eye.
Don’t mean to be a scaremonger.
Def find time to visit the GP asap - it needs treating correctly 
yep!..that’s what your GP is for - make use of them.
get well soon wasp!.
Hear Hear:cool:
Cucumber?
Are you being smutty again?;)
I think my GP is taking bookings for Spring 2008 at the moment 
LOL!!No - its refreshing for your eyes and doubles up as a great shnak.
My GP was like that so changed to Debs - ring at 8am get in that day ;)No wonder you have been riding around with a broken wrist :w00t:Moral of the story - change GP
I stuck a cucumber in my eye once - really hurt ;):pinch:
Eeewww Lou…wouldnt want to have cucumber as a snack, after slapping it on swollen,sticky,weepy eye !!! …:sick:
You really wanted to see what you eat 
you werent stung by a wasp were you? :Whistling: :ermm:
try wahing it out with some saline in a shotglass… no dont drink it but lowere your head onto the shotglass so your eye is in it and lift your head up with eye open…
might help
