So I woke up with this small completly flat and red thing in my eye? When I try to pull my lower eyelid away a bit, the thing is just completely stuck to my eyeball so I can't grab it. I tried rinsing a few times, doesn't do it either.

Would this be a problem if I ignore it , will it go away on it's on?
Or how else to try to remove it at home?

What if I'm unable to remove it ?
Could it be some eye injury as it's red ? Though seems unlikely.

Thanks

If it were me, I'd go talk to a pharmacist because they can now prescribe drops for pink eye. Anyway, the pharmacist could help you, I would think. Good luck.

Pink eye is something pink or red in the eye, you got 'red'. No harm in showing the pharmacist is there? Who knows what they have seen in people's eyes, maybe they can remove it for you. It would be my first step before going to the ER and waiting hours upon hours to see a doctor. Or sure see your doctor if you have same day appointments, but most people can't see their doctor on demand.

Hm, maybe it could be . It is stuck on the same spot of the eyeball ( I think). Is it a problem if I ignore it, I hate eye drops 
How do I know it's pink eye, and not some object ?

I have no idea why it ruptured, I just woke up one morning and it was there. It didn't hurt, it didn't itch, and it wasn't annoying like a scratched cornea or a shaving in the eye Is.

I left it alone, no treatment, and it healed on it's own in a couple months.

Could you move it a bit if you pulled on the eyelids ? If this is what I have it's nothing, I don't want to go to a doctor for something this minor. It doesn't annoy me, it just look like a flat red bit on my eyeball, could be blood, I can't tell.

Nope, I couldn't move it. It was like a varicose vein in my eyeball. If that's what it is in your case, and it's big enough or blistered out to where it moves like that, you might want to get to a doctor and have it looked at.

This morning it's gone. I think it must have been a blot clot on my eyes as it didn't bother me at all , but was just noticeable .
Weird, but at least I don't have to see a doctor 
Thanks again for the replies
