What Causes Crack And Sore On Outside Corner Of Eye?
The outside corner of my left eye is cracked and sore. I thought I scratched it when I was outside working in the yard and rubbed my eyes, but after a week of discomfort I know it's something else. Not sure what to do. See my family doctor or try to tackle this problem myself.

Hello'
It seems from the history that you are having crack and sore of the outer corner of the eye. This can be seen in blepharitis or angular conjunctivitis. This requires treatment by lid hygiene and antibiotic eye ointment.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
