[QUOTE="Steely, post: 481508, member: 3301"] Janet - please go to an eye dr or dr tomorrow. I had some really, really rare thing happen with my eyes - and I blew it off for months. Well, I shouldn't say I blew it off, I went to 3 eye Dr who gave me random drops. After my Dad pulled a thousand strings, and got me in to see the best eye Dr in Dallas - I had started to lose vision. It turns out I had a super rare thing called acanthamoeba. Not only could I have lost my vision but I also could have died. Somehow amoebas had gotten in under my contacts, (even though I took them out every night) and made a home in my eyes! I know, GROSS. They were in the process of eating the optic nerve - and were on their way to the brain. I am NOT saying you have this - I am just saying that I had completely underestimated the gravity of the situation. I was really sick. I had to put drops in my eyes, that were compounded by a special pharmacy, every hour for a year. SOoooo - that gruesome story to say - BE CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL. If you don't think it is a sty, than go back and be persistent. Is it possible that an animal or thing scratched the eye and eyelid, and the eyelid puss is because of the same scratch?? [/QUOTE]
