Yesterday morning I had a small state. During the day it grew bigger and looked like this today morning. I went walk in centre and they sent me to eye a&e. There they studied my eyes and concluded it’s a broken vain caused by a star that caused the colouring. I had infection as well and got antibiotics. I am not sure if they had seen this before because not that sure what it is.

The colour doesn’t come out well in the photo. It’s purple and I was asked several times if I have been punched to eye

You have been see by the eye ED. Why are you asking here if you have been given an answer?

I would believe what they told you.

I was asked several times if I had been punched into the eye. I just find odd that stye gives you a black eye. Dh doesn’t want to go to garden centre with me tomorrow.
