Black-Eye Syndrome...
I think I have a disease. It's called Black-Eye-Syndrome.
I developed BES close to 3 months ago. Here's what my first outbreak of BES looked like:
Now believe it or not this was right after the first flare up and it actually got worse than this. Half of my eyeball filled up with blood. I had blurred vision for over a week. There is some kind of hairline fracture on my eye-socket.
All of this from dodgeball of course. I love dodgeball. I'm not very good at dodgeball, but I love dodgeball.
I'm posting this because it's nearly 3 months after my first outbreak of BES and I can't seem to get it cleared up. Every morning I look in the mirror and I'm like, "What the crap??"
Here's what I look like this morning..."What the crap??" p.s...this image is reversed due to photobooth being weird and backwards...or...forwards. Whatever.
No that's not a shadow on my face. I still have BES. Every single day someone asks me..."do you have a black eye?" or "did you get hit in the face again?"

I don't have a suggestion for you, but I will say the only reason I found your blog was do to your BLACK EYES. I saw your comment on Randy B's blog and saw your eyes, and thought "who is this guy"....
Secretly I was hoping you were a UFC fighter. Just kidding!
Anyway, grace to you, and I sure hope someone can suggest something to help!
How about you let me punch you in the other eye. It won't help the problem but it will at symmetry to your face.
En nombre de Jesucristo...
And perhaps no more dodgeballs to the face and a visit to the eye doctor if that doesn't work.
Well, you can pray for divine healing, cover it with make-up or let leeches suck on your face...I think those are your only choices... :(
You can borrow my pink-eye drops and see if that helps...Yes, after finally shaking the sore throat I woke up with a crusty red eye today. UGH!
Can we start a support group?
Elaine is very wise. That's all I'm sayin.
Have you been to the ENT yet?
Sorry, not quite awake yet, I meant Eye Dr. Sorry.
Dude, warm compresses and a trip to the Ophthalmologist!
Not pink eye but my guess is a chalazion. Gotta see an Ophthalmologist not a Optom for removal/treatment.
google chalazian
Chalazion Overview
A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Typically, this lump grows over days to weeks and is occasionally red, warm, or painful.
The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammation process begins.
Inflammation is a process in which the body reacts to a condition and produces a biologic reaction. This reaction can cause swelling, redness, pain, or warmth.
A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected.
ouch it looks painful
You need some Arnica gel. You can get it at any health food or herb mart type store. It's miracle stuff. I keep a tube of it with me at all times for my goose egg prone 7 year old. They also make tablets that you put under your tongue and they dissolve. I can't attest to the power of thet ablets, but the gel works wonders.
