Should I go see an optometrist? I am far from home and my optometrist is far away. Do I have an infection or any bacteria?

Question

I have a tingling in my eye, I wake up at night because it burns/itch/scratch/pinches on my left eyelid. What should I do? I often work in front of my computer because I'm in mid-term at the university. No discharge from the eye. A little sensitivity to light and a scratchy feeling in the eye.

Hello , Do you have sensitivity to light? change of vision? eye discharge? pain? Given the sensitivity to light and the burning that wakes you up at night, I suggest that you see a professional (optometrist or doctor) within 24-48 hours You can consult an optometrist and mention that it is an emergency it does not have to be your regular optometrist Have a nice evening
