eye infection

[aggie61]

my eye is sore, stings when it waters, sensitive to any kind of light

[panda2526]

My Dad has iritis, and it causes those types of issues...

My husband has a rare eye condition as well that causes these symptoms called idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasis. hope I spelled right ...

Take care.

Hello,
Without a complete clinical evaluation it may be difficult to confirm the exact cause .Based on the description shared by you the common possibilities are corneal abrasions, corneal infections, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, any foreign body in the eye. These all can cause a sore eye and watering from the eyes. Conjunctivitis due to allergies or infections either viral or bacterial is the commonest cause of red sore eyes, itchiness and discharge. It is best to get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist and only after a correct diagnosis treatment can be started. Treatment will be specific based on the cause. Do write to me again.
Best of luck!
