Hi Nashes Mom, It sounds like it could be pink eye, or you may have gotten a tiny particle of dirt or sand in your eye and didn't realize it. I went through about 2 weeks a few months ago with my left eye hurting and itching, I bought some visine drops, not for red eye, for irretated eyes, i don't know why i waited for so long, anyway the drops helped and to this day I don't know what was going on with my eye. I would try some drops and if it does not work go get it checked out. J.
