Er... discuss with your GP on monday, if you have problems seeing, bleeding, loads of stickyness or the pain gets worse attend the out of hours service tonight.

Dissolvable stitches can vary greatly in their properties depending on material, size and manufacturing process. Nobody other than your surgeon will be able to answer your questions properly as nobody will know exactly which stitches were used. GP will be able to give a good idea as to whether something funky's going on or if things look normal.

thanks. No bleeding, problems seeing etc. - just pain. Hopefully that's a good sign?

Cheers.

The whites were completely red for the week and that was it. The eye got infected too and I had to go back to the hospital, but yeah, they feel perfectly fine now. It was over 5 years ago though.

How do you know whether your eye is infected. Are there any clear/obvious signs or is it something that the doctor can only really tell.

Thanks again

Pain isn't a great sign. If you're worried enough to post here and have new pain 10 days after an op, I'd suggest seeing the out of hours GP would be a good idea. You will not get an adequate examination on here or from a protocol reading nurse over the phone (NHS direct).

Mine have been in 30 years now and still haven't dissolved! I was told I could have then removed but that it could cause complications, iv never had a problem until recently were they have started itching and feel like something in my eye when closed. Not sure what to do.
