    Default OMFG my eye is killing me....

    Why does shit always happen to me the day AFTER I go to the doctor?

    I wore my contacts for the first time in ages on Thursday and now my right eye is fucked. It's red around the iris, bloodshot everywhere and burns like holy hell. The left eye is 100% fine.

    I don't get it. I took them out last night and it was a bit red but nothing too bad. This has happened a couple of times before and it was always fine after I slept. Now I wake up this morning and it's way worse and I can't see out of it kinda. It feels scratchy, like when you're really tired. I flushed it with saline so there's nothing stuck in there.

    Oh, and I feel like I'm about to drop an ovary too, but my eye is temporarily making me forget about that.

    I get that too. Might be pink eye. Might just be your contact. I've had the same exact symptoms and had it turn out being either of the two choices I listed.

    Keep your contact out and throw it away if it isn't new. And the case.

    I agree, take the contacts out for a while. I'm really bad about taking my contacts out every night like I'm supposed to but I've been fortunate not to have any problems. I hope your eye feels better!

    But that's the shitty thing! It was a brand new set, right out of the box! Same deal with the solution because I always let them soak before I wear them.

    Stupid things. They're the kind you can wear for a week straight before you soak them in peroxide. I wore them for not even two days before this happened.

    I hope it's not pinkeye. I don't know where I would have picked that up from. I'm OCD about handwashing and everything.

    is it possible that your eyes are just really really dry? i scratched my cornea and had to use all kinds of lubrication drops to keep it from feeling all achy and irritated. i also used this stuff called genteal gel at bedtime. it was super thick and gooey, but it really helped. good luck!

    Well, I finally broke down and went to the clinic today. The on-call doctor sent me straight to the hospital to see an opthamologist because I have a raging corneal infection. I've got potent eyedrops to take and if it doesn't improve in 48 hours it's possible that I'm going to lose partial sight in my right eye. It's all because of my stupid contacts.

    This is the risk of contacts. There has been a fungal infection going around through contacts (even brand new, out of the box contacts) and it was the big reason Joe decided to suck up and get Lasik.

    Once your eye heals and everything is fine, you may want to go see a Lasik specialist and have a talk about getting the procedure. It's been almost 2 years and Joe couldn't be happier to have it done and not deal with contacts (or worry about the stuff along with contacts).

    But, sorry to hear that you have this. Make sure you drink plenty of water and get your rest (rest your eyes). Hope you feel better soon!!
