Left eye was all red and painful - episcleritis

For the last two days my left eye was bloodshot and painful. Went to see an optician today and she said it was dry and inflamed.

Apparently the cause was my bedside fan which I keep on the left drying out my eyes. This was reassuring cos I looked the symptoms up online and jeez thought I had a crazy tropical infection.

Just have to use artificial teardrops for a week and ibuprofen. Feel better already

Never google symptoms! :slight_smile:

Glad it’s nothing serious though
