What Causes Reddishness Of Cornea And Yellow Discharge From Eyes?

My left eye outer corner is raw and red. There is yellow goo along the bottom eyelid. It feels as if my toplid is sand paper and it has either dropped or it s swollen. I just started lisinopril 12.5 (never had this one before) for my high blood pressure.

nothing to do with drug used to treat hypertension. redness of cornea with discharge appears to be bacterial infection. this is cojuctival infection. if cornea is red then there must be corneal involvement like corneal ulcer in which purulent discharge will not be there. so an eye doctor should examine and diagnose the problem.
