Maybe Ultraviolet karatitis???

Last night i work up with a really awful pain in my eye. I jumped up and flushed it for awhile, and looked in it.. nothing was there although it felt like an eyelash... the pain is in my left eye on the upper right side under the eyelid. It hurts the most when i look to the right and the brown part of my eye is over it. My eye is slightly itchy and red, watery, slightly cloudy around the edges, and really bloodshot. I also have been getting headaches throughout the day and feeling nausious. I have been tanning at a tanning bed alot lately idn if that has anything to do with it..

Dear Manadakay16,

I would recommend that you seek immediate care.  It is possible you may have corneal erosion or other conditions.

That is a definite possibility - so you need to get into see an ophthalmologist right away.  In the meantime, use preservative free artificial tears every 30 minutes or so.  You do know that tanning beds are going to greatly increase your chances of skin cancer. Since you are on the internet why don't you google melanoma and basal cell carcinoma.  Take a look at some of the survival rates for melanoma in particular - it is a very scary disease.
