My husband and BIL went for a ride on an ATV the other day and ran through a bunch of tall grass, releasing all the seed, which covered them. My husband was not wearing eye protection at the time. He had an immediate reaction to it, however we assumed it was because he has seasonal allergies, so we bought Visine Allergy and that seemed to help.
Today (three days later) his eyes are bothering him again. We looked underneath his eyelids and there are large styes beneath both. We’re unsure if grass seeds worked there way under the skin on the inside of this eyelid (they’re sharp) because we can’t see anything other then the stye itself.
Questions: As it is not really painful, we aren’t headed to the ER. How long should we wait though? Opinions on if this is urgent or not (his vision is not affected)? Second, has anyone had anything similar happen and how’d it turn out?
You are not my doctor, we will seek medical advice and intervention if needed, etc.
