Question
I was looking into the mirror, and I saw that on my cornea was not a full circle. My left eye's cornea had like a hole in the color and reddish yellow veins were trailing to it. Along with this, every night my eyes start to burn. Also, on the upper eyelid of my left eye, closest to my nose, it is sore when I blink and slightly swollen around the tip, where the eyelash hairs come out. I also have no allergies. I am scared that something is wrong with my eye, the people that provide health care at my school don't give really good care. I need my eyes for my career and I am worried.
Answer
Sorry, but no one will take a guess without seeing you - please see an eye doctor.
