Q: 

Why does my lower eyelid hurt when I blink??

When I woke up yesterday morning I noticed that everytime I blinked my lower eyelid felt sore on my left eye. It feels as though there's a bruise there but on the inside. Today it feels a little worse. The inside of the eyelid looks a little red but nothing major. What is this?

Experiencing the same thing. Everytime I blink, the inner corner of my right eye, towards the bottom, feels sore. It feels as if I had been rubbing my eye all day but I just felt this discomfort today. Everyone at home is sick and I am thinking its just me catching a cold or bacterial infection in my eyes. Hopefully it subsides.

I'm not sure if mine is a stye or not as my eyes sore n feels swollen but iv had pain through my cheekbone also because of my lower eyelid been swollen. It hurts for me to blink and to close my eye. I also cant concentrate on anything. I'm not allergic to anything and iv not changed anything I use. Any idea's?

My left bottom eyelid is also hurting when I blink. Dx
I have either a cold or the flu so I wasn't sure if this could be related?
