I've had this eye irritation for the last couple of days, and there's this clear, jelly-like stuff on the white part of my eyeball. Should I be worried, or are there any specific eye drops I should try? I've only been using Refresh Tears so far.

Question

I've been dealing with this stye on my eye for over a week now, and it's really starting to get painful. Blinking is tough, and the irritation just won't go away. What should I do about it?

I've been using my air conditioner in the room for quite a while, and now I'm experiencing some pain and redness just in my left eye. It's really uncomfortable, especially since I can't even close my left eye properly because the upper lid hurts, and there's this reddish tint on the lower lid. On top of that, I'm trying to study for my exams, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for something that can help soothe this?

Question

My eye has been swollen since yesterday, and the puffiness seems to have gotten worse today. I'm really worried about how long this is going to last if I don't take any medicine. Do you have any advice on what I should do or what to expect?
