Question

White of my eyes pink-not pink eye


Sent to Health Experts September 19, 2006 1:41 p.m.

For the past couple of days I have been waking up and the whites of my eyes are extremely pink. It slightly clears during the day but gets worse as the day progresses. They aren't itchy or crusty.   Nothing in my diet has changed and I haven't used anything new or different on my face or makeup.   Do you know what/why this could be?

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 24

Already Tried:
Nothing... tried researching on the internet but all that came up was stuff on pink eye

It is really impossible to diagnose a red eye without it being seen. I suspect that you may have either a low grade infection or more likely a case of allergic conjuctivitis. The other possibility is that you could have dry eyes - not enough tear production - and this can cause the same symptoms.

You should see your physician or eye professional for an examination.
