Pink eye?

Last week I thought I had pink eye.  My eye was, well... pink.  And watery and crusty in the morning, but it wasn't itching or burning so I wasn't certain it was pink eye.  I know I could simply go to the doctor, get diagnosed, and get eye drops or whatever.  But... I couldn't get myself to go to the doctor.  My eye, my right eye, the one that was pink was also the eye that has an almost bare lid.  How was I supposed to go to the doctor, have him look at my eye and not notice the lack of lashes?!  I told my husband, "I really don't want to go to the doctor... it's embarrassing and I really don't want to explain or be viewed as a freak."  He told me they wouldn't view me like that, but I didn't care... And I didn't go.
