Asked By:question1237 in Chicago, IL

I was put under anesthesia and the very same day my inner eye started burning and hurting. The area seems to be a normal color of pale pink, sometimes red. This sensation occurs about 7/8 times a day and only subsides when I place a cold towel over that area for a few minutes. This has been going on for 16 days. Is this a normal side effect of anesthesia or should I go see an optometrist/opthemologist? By the way I did not experience this with my breast augmentation at all.
