I may be crazy, but it feels like my left eyeball is swollen. The lid looks and feels normal, it's just the eyeball itself. I've also noticed some haloing on the vision in this eye and it's very sensitive to my contacts right now. Anyone else ever experienced this?

I have not personally experienced this but I have a friend who has. She felt this sensation and also said she had pain in that eye. It turned out she had increased pressure inside the eye -early glaucoma. Please be checked by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible!

Hi there

I have experienced this. It feels as though you have iron filings in your eyes, they are red, and it feels as though someone punched you in the eye - without the blue eye.

The other day black text looked purple! Go figure.

My eye do the same. Before my doctor prescribed Medrol I would get blisters on my eyeballs my face swells too.
