Should An Eye Specialist Be Consulted For Pain And Irritation In The Eyes?

I woke up at 4am with terrible irritation in right eye and quite a lot of pain in that eye? been 2 days and is not better. Am currently suffering allergies, not sure if that is causing it, but I also have glaucoma for many years and MS FOR 20+ years. Do I wait it out or call my eye specialist?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you have glaucoma dear you should immediately consult your eye specialist. As the pain could be indicative of an increased Intraocular pressure due to closed angles which needs urgent treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
