red and pain in the outer corner of my eye for days now
the outer corner of my right eye is really red and hurts when i look around. it happened about 4 days ago and i thought i just had something in it but then it happened again two days later, and its doing it again right now. i look closely in it and it looks like there is a clear thick film layered over the outer corner of the eye.

Hello and hope you are doing well.
The redness in the eyes might be due conjunctivitis which is inflammation of the thin transparent membrane which covers the eyes. Conjunctivitis can be caused by infections and noninfectious conditions. Infections can be due to viral, bacterial and chlamydial. Non infectious causes are allergies, chemicals and injury. Sometimes the redness can occur with other inflammations or infections of other parts of the eye like iris, cornea, lens etc. It's important that an element of injury needs to be ruled out so you will need to consult your primary care physician for further evaluation.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

It might be an eye infection. Call the eye doctor and say you think you have an eye infection. That should get you in quickly.
