Common symptoms
Dull headache. Eyes began to water and burn, slight itching (after fifteen or twenty minutes); this continued until I reached my boarding house. I was suffering quite severely my sister at once asked what was the matter with my eyes, and going to the glass, my eyelids were swollen and the sclerotica much injected, presenting fiery redness; there was some sensitiveness to light. These symptoms continued through the afternoon and evening, and kept me awake for some time; in the morning my eyelids were agglutinated, and on opening my eyes they were quite sensitive to the light; the burning and smarting were less, still my eyes discharged water moire or less for two or three days; the symptoms gradually subsided, and a week I was well again.
