Question : HI My wife all of a sudden said it felt like something was in her eye. Nearly half of eye is a smooth red, so you can't see blood vessels it is just all smooth blood possibly a bit raised. I will try to upload a picture. She says there is a bit of a pain when she blinks.
Should she go to emergency? What do you think it is.

Brief Answer:
Any foreign bodies

Detailed Answer:
Hi Huntervg,

Has she experienced any trauma to her eye-If not, it probably conjunctivitis and she should use antibiotic ointment for 4 days, e.g. chloramphenicol. It is a good idea to swing by the ER for a physical examination.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
