For people who know about eye infections?

Question: ok i have this eye infection or so the doctor says. and it only seems to be getting worse with the medication that he gave me. i have these bumps on my eye brow and it seems like each day i have a few more. my right eye is half way blood shot red and constantly feels like there is something in it but the doctor said that there wasnt anything. i have no drainage at all. ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT THIS COULD BE? and dont worry im going to get this checked out again.

Answers:
Well its going to take a while before your eye gets better. Also when you go back tot he doctor ask for a flourizine test to see if your cornea maybe scraped or something. Thats the only thing i can suggest. Just give the med some time to work.

Other Answers:
It sounds like a bad sty.

It can take several days to heal, if not a couple of weeks.

You probably have a blocked tear duct or a blocked gland. Put a rag, soaked with warm water, on your eye. Do it every couple of hours to help dislodge whatever it is that's blocked.

Some infections - such as your conjunctival infections (aka pink eye) do tend to get worse before getting better.
You didn't say how long you've had this problem, if the bumps are above your right eye, when we went to the doctor and how long it's been since you were there, or the kind of drops you are using. Without this information it is near impossible to take guesses as to what this is and without being able to examine you - it makes it definately impossible.
The dye he used is called flourescein - it stains the cornea and shows areas where the cornea is damaged to see if it is scratched.
Often when something is going on with the eye, the eye is irritated and gets dry, this can cause it to feel as if something is in it, perhaps what you are experiencing.
Good luck and be sure to let your doctor know all your symptoms. And if you have any questions, just ask your optometrist - they should be more than willing to explain everything to you.
