Please help- Strange eye problem (medical advice needed)
So I have this thing going on where I have a hard time controlling my right eye. I used to be prescribed adderall and think there might be some kind of link. I used to drink a lot as well and still do, but not more than some people I know and they don't have this problem. Anyway, so like I was saying, my right eye seems to be sensitive to bright lights for one thing. The other thing is that that, lets say if I'm about to or trying to do the motion of turning my head rapidly to the right, or left, or any direction for that matter, the right eye doesn't seem to want to follow through smoothly to the new thing I'm looking at and it causes pain eye. Here's another example, it's weird.. If i'm watching say a movie and the camera rotates or pans to the left or right quickly to look at another character or something, it's like my eye won't or doesn't want to move along with the movement like it naturally used too. It seems to be only my right eye and it causes pain, which seems to be physically manifesting, as it happens continually, the inner corner of the eye seems to get red and swollen to the point where there is some puss or white liquid coming out a bit, which i heard is a sign for trauma (trauma of the eye)I have a good amount of anxiety as well and have been sometimes very anxious especially in social type situations which makes it worse. Too much caffeine seems to make it worse also. Could it be toxins stuck in my body from meds, alcohol, stress or anything else!? I was thinking that it may be a sign of a worn out thyroid gland??? Please help, this is making my life much more uncomfortable and unhappy than it used to be, it's hurting the way I life my life and function.

Thank you!

If you can afford to go see an Optometrist, I would make it priority #1.

red eye with white stuff coming out sounds like an infection to me. No way to know i think if it is viral or bacterial without seeing a dr.

The thing is I'm currently unemployed so I can't. I've been interviewing and hope to land one with benefits within a month at most, but this problem has been going on for atleast 4-5 months now and was wondering if anyone experienced anything similar or has any ideas on the matter. I know lots of you guys are knowledgeable on all sorts of health matters, so...

Thanks again soo much!

OP - you answered your own question in the thread title. You need medical advice. Go to the nearest emergency room if you can't afford a doctor. Or, take a chance on going blind - or worse.

I hear you and looked into that, but I'm pretty sure it gets swollen due to the akward movement or apprehensiveness my eye has to moving naturally, the way it's supposed to or something. I don't know how to explain it.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Some sterile eye-drops might help ease some of the pain, but it sounds like you may need a dose of antibiotics to clear it up completely.

If I was a potential employer - I would not hire someone that came in with a swollen red eye and puss leaking. I would assume that this person who has not taken responsibility with their own health would also not take responsibility with my company. I would also assume that the only reason that they want the job would to be to leech on my medical benefits.

I am making no judgement myself - but as a business owner myself I would not place you on the "first-call" list.

Understood, but it's not something most people would notice. It also doesn't "leak puss" in front of people as you said. It's more of something I notice looking in the mirror close up, it's not a lot of puss, but there's definitely some white goop that comes out when the pain gets bad and the swelling is part of it..

And like I said, stimulants (not doing adderall anymore) but caffiene, even too much B vitamins seems to make it worse..

You should probably get checked for Glaucoma asap because if left untreated it can cause blindness.

Stress increases the pressure in the eye and certain up and down movements will also increase stress on the eye.

Check with sliding scale clinics in your area. Some places offer free or discount glaucoma checks routinely. Check with your hospital to see if any discounted wellness checks are happening in your area.

Eye doom is never good.

Something is obviously wrong with your eye. Your only option is to bite the bullet and seek medical help. Eyes are nothing to mess with.

Working in the ER, people come in all the time with eye shit they have let go too long and unfortunately some have lost their sight and a few even their eye because the problem was left to "simmer" for way too long. The optic nerve is very sensitive to long lasting infections.
It is what it is...deal with it.

Good luck to you. In the meanwhile, wear shades to protect your eyes from light. You may even need to wear shades inside to protect from fluorescent light as well.

Also try decreasing your stress load- meditate or just lay around and listen to music. Try not to strain eyes much until you get the all clear.

Well, I have some similar symptoms that accompany my cluster migraines, but they are because of my cluster migraines, so may not apply to you. It attacks either one eye or the other, stabbing pain when i move my eye, bloodshot and red, pressure behind the eyeball. sometimes it will even feel irritated. But never pus.
