My eyes hurt! *cries*
I hope this isn't like an infection. I just got off an anti-bacterial for an infection on my leg, I don't want to have to take more.

Are they itchy and burny? And crusty and light sensitive?

First of all, wash your hands and don't touch your eyes again.

Second, call your doctor first thing tomorrow morning and tell them you need to either be seen or have a prescription called in because you have conjunctivitis (which is incredibly contagious so leave your eyes alone). Tell them you want the eye drops and not the ointment (the ointment is a pain in the ass, the drops will just sting a bit). This isn't likely to clear up on its own, so calling the doctor is a must.

Cool wet cloths help them feel better, as will luke warm tea bags.

That's pink eye, right? It's my eyelids that are red and hurt, not my eyes itself. But I'm definitely going to the doctor tomorrow if it still hurts.

Yup - you got it. :/

Have you tried applying cold compresses? Normally, I'd recommend warm, but if it IS a bacterial type thing, I'd be afraid the warmth wouldn't help. Maybe cold would relieve the hurt a little.
