inside corner eye pain

[tatia1992]

The inside corner of my right eye is red and inflamed. It has been constantly uncomfortable/painful for the last couple days. I did not notice the redness and swelling until today. I wear contacts, but it does not get better or worse when I am wearing them.

thanks everyone!

Hi! Redness in the eyes can be due to allergy, dry eyes, a turned in eyelash, foreign body in the eye, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, cataract, glaucoma and in case of high blood pressure or coughing, it can be due to hemorrhage under the conjunctiva. It can also be a sign of stress, eye strain or poor eye sight. Please consult an eye specialist.
Hope this helps. Take care!

Pink eye??  This is just a hunch

Also, along with the advice weezer gave, please don't rub your eye and you always want to make sure your hands are clean before messing with your eye (trying to wash it out or just rub it).

If this gets worse or lasts more than 7 days, it's time to see the doctor.

There can be many causes for the redness and pain but since you state it is the inside corner, i immediately thought of a problem with the tear duct. vs pink eye. Google your symptoms but have it evauated if symptoms worsen or dont improve,
