What's wrong with my eyes!?

Sounds like your developing a conjunctivitis-are the sclera or whites of the eyes reddened? This condition can be cause by an virus or bacteria and sometimes called mechanical because there has been another irritant introduced to the eye which causes severe irritation. Keep your hands off of that area, continue to flush with a saline solution and watch over the next 24 hours as you may need medical intervention...go sooner if the discharge becomes discolored with blood or greenish. Make sure that you discard eye make up on a regular basis about every 2 months or sooner if this occurs. If your sleeping with contacts, stop immediately and let the eye breathe. You might want to consider taking contacts out ASAP if that is the case. Hope this helps and you get better.
