I’m going to try and make an appt to see my doctor today but before then, anyone any idea what’s wrong with my eye?

Pain when I blink, bloodshot, seems to be a small lump there.

Generally eye things, go to an optician, they’re really very good. Do you wear contacts? There are a variety of things that can happen with those. Or it could be a scratch, or lots of other things.
But I would be Looking for an urgent optician appointment. They have all the kit to have a really good look at your eye.

Yes go to an optician.
I've had something similar where a blood vessel in my eye burst, my GP said it was a subconjunctival haemorrhage. No lump though.

An optician will be able to diagnose you.

Meant to add, it was nothing serious, no treatment needed and it faded after about a week.
Do you suffer with dry eyes op?

Thanks all, I’ve made an appointment with my optician for later today

Anyone else ever had this?

Sounds and looks horrid. I hope the treatment works. Do you wear contacts? If so, which kind?
