    Default scratched my eye

    i was putting my contacts in right before i started getting ready for work, and my eye started burning so bad i couldnt even open it. it feels like theres something in my eye and its bright red, i could barely get my contact out. now i cant go to work because i can barely keep my eye open and i definately cant put my contact in. i guess i scratched it or something.. does anybody know how long it will take to heal? i should be fine by tomorrow, right? i really needed to work tonight, and its a new club and was only going to be my 3rd shift

    Ive had this before - usually its better by the next day though still maybe a litte uncomfortable. I usually just make sure I have lots of saline drops with me if I need to wear the contacts and I only wear them for the shortest possible amount of time until it feels normal again.
    I bathe my eyes with saline also if they ever feel scratched, it helps soothe.

    Could be a stye. I recommend the vaseline looking ointment called stye. when it comes to your eyes you should take something like that serious if it is affecting your vision go to the ER! Hope you feel better

    One time, my son accidentally scratched my eye when he was a baby. I couldn't keep my eye open! It wouldn't stop watering, my vision was blured because the scratch was right over my pupil and every time I blinked, I could feel the scratch....it was horrible. My mom at the time, was working for an Optometrist, she brought home a special contact lens that is essentially a band aid for your eye. You might want to check it out! My eye felt better instantly!

    If you have a corneal tear, it WON'T heal overnight. You will need to give it at least a week before you can wear lenses. Of course you must go to the doctor, they will give you some drops to heal the tear faster.

    And if you don't have eye insurance, just suck up the cost and go. It is well worth it to take care of your eyes. Untreated, you could have permanent damage to the cornea.
