My left eye is red and painful. What could be the reason?
I am having a stinging pain in my left eye right at the tear duct and it is red. I washed it a couple of times but it didn't get better. It didn't get worse either. Could it be some kind of infection?

Depends on the diagnosis. A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.
It could be an infection see an Ophthalmologist ASAP.
Yes it could be an infection. Please see an ophthalmologist and get checked (it should be covered by your medical insurance, not vision insurance)
Your symptoms definitely require an eye exam, as the possibilities of what you could have are too numerous to list

It's likely to be an infection at the tear duct.
Yes, it could represent a blocked tear duct that might be infected. You need to be seen by an eye care professional.
It might be angular conjunctivitis. Have an eye exam to get proper treatment for it.
