While I write this post I wonder whther I should be at the laptop straining my eyes. I woke up with red eyes, tears that kept on flowing and they hurt a lot. Leticia just came and sugested that I washed my eyes with tea. I put some eye drops in them bedore she came, but maybe I should follow her advise. What do you think?

I've never put tea in my eyes, but I do use eye drops when they're bleary. Sometimes the drops sting!

I guess that I will listen to what some of you are telling me and I will only use the eyedrops.

@marguicha Tea may work. But what kind of tea?

I put eye drops as soon as I woke up. Still, they hurt.

@marguicha Have you tried the tea? How was it?

I would personally stick to something that is intended specifically for eyes - i.e. eyedrops.

I have eyedrops (quite expensive too). I put a drop as soon as I woke up.

You should consult eye specialist as it may be an eye infection.

I have a couple of doctors to consult soon that are more important. I will see how it goes for a few days.

Please please don't put tea in your eyes. Only things intended for eyes and with the strictest levels of pharmaceutical hygiene should ever go in your eyes.

You have a point there! I will stick to the eyedrops.

I have never heard about washing eyes with tea. It does sound like an eye infection. I hope it clears up fast.

Tea is not a sterilized solution, I do not think that this is a great idea if you have an eye infection.
