text: is it a sty?!? i woke up this morning and there was a red line underneath my eyelashes...i looks like i took a redpen and tried to put on eyeliner with it.....sties are usually like pimples right? if it doesn't go away, you need to see an eye doctor.  your optomitrist might be able to help you, but they might refer you somewhere else.  it could be chronic conjunctivitis, which can be caused by contact lenses.
