There is dirt in my eyes every evening and eyes are red. Please help me.

Hello doctor,

I got this eye problem three days ago. I do not know what happens but when it is evening, I notice that there is a frequent watery eye dirt in my eyes, sometimes it is a little bit only and sometimes a lot. But, it is very frequent like every minute like that. So that the veins in my eyes turn red. So, my eyes turn red also. It is not noticeable, but when I look at it clearly and I lift up the lids, I really can see the root. I do not know what to do. It is not hurt. I am just bothered about the eye dirt that comes out every minute and the red veins or roots in my eyes. Hope you can help me.

Will wearing eyeglass for fashion cause any future problems?

Hello doctor,

Does wearing an eyeglass for a long period of time for the sake of fashion will cause any eye problem or dependency in my life? I have purchased eyeglass from a reputed store. From my childhood, I do not have any eye problem.

What could cause pain in the eyes which disappears on closing the eyes?

Hello doctor,

Around five minutes ago, I noticed my eye was having a little pain when moving and had sharp pains after this. I figured it might be eye strain, so I went into a dark area and closed my eyes. Now the pain is gone. Can you please tell me the reason?

What is causing the discomfort on one side of the eye during blinking?

Hi doctor,

I feel like I have had something stuck in my eye on one side for over a week now. I feel it when I blink or my eyes shut. I see a speck in the white part of my eyeball and that is where I feel the discomfort. I woke up with this one morning and I often use exfoliating face wash. I went to a doctor and she had a look and thought it might be a corneal ulcer. I do not wear contacts or glasses. I was referred to a trainee eye doctor and he said my eyes were fine. After asking him three times to look at my eye he saw the speck and said it was probably a pigmentation. He said that I had something like blepharitis and recommended lubricating eye drops. The trainee eye doctor did not really ask questions, just had a look at it through the machine. I just want a second opinion since I do not feel confident with his answer.
