My eye hasn't gotten totally better yet. Instead, it is less irritated and red, but it still feels like something is in it and my vision can sometimes be a tad blurry. The thing is, I figured out why. It seems like I somehow managed to scratch my cornea. In examining my eye closely in the mirror this weekend, I noticed a spot in the black of my left eye. Thinking maybe I had something in my eye I examined it quite closely and found that instead, it was a scratch on my cornea.
Knowing this, that explains the feeling of constantly having something in my eye when there really isn't. I ended up searching and rubbing to get what I figured was some debris out of my eye at least once every half hour the last week to no avail, but at least I know I wasn't going crazy.
What I wonder now if is I scratched my eye while I had pink eye or if I didn't actually have pink eye but instead my eye was compensating for the scratch and was extra irritated because it was scratched. Who knows?
Now I simply have to wait for it to heal up, which I have no idea how long it'll take. I'm going to venture a guess and say at least a few more days if not more likely a week. It's usually fine as long as there's enough moisture in my eye, which explains the excessive tearing.
So, eye irritation mystery solved.
