Boyfriends Extremely Red Eye
My boyfriend left his contacts in for 2 or 3 weeks straight. he got in a bad habit of doing this. well, he finally changes his contacts and either the same day or the day after he gets horrible pain in his eye and it gets all red! it is now to the point where he cannot tolerate light and it hurts. i am very worried for him. he is being stubborn and does not want to see a doctor. this happened before and it went away within a week. my mom is a nurse and thinks it is infected. he just thinks i is irritated. i dont want to see him permenantly damaged or suffering! what do i do?

My mom had this same thing happen 2 times. A peice of dirt got in his eye, and it rubbed and rubbed and it scatched this corona. It will hurt really bad. Take him to the eye doctor. I hope it works!

Hey!
Well I can deffinitely see why you are concerned! Really there is nothing you can do other than to urge him to go see a doctor... over and over until he does it! He can be stubborn about seeing the doctor any other time, but when there is eye trouble, that is extremely serious and there is no room for risks. Does he want to worsen his vision and even risk going blind? Why should he risk such a thing if all it takes on his part is to walk in the doctor's office, sit in a chair, and listen to what they have to say. It would take his eye pain away, and it would give him (and you) piece of mind. Explain all this to him, and if he is still stubborn maybe try and convince him to do it by rewarding him in some way? Hahah, kind of like bribing him like you would a little kid (yeah... boys are deffinitely like little kids sometimes). Maybe tell him you'll cook him dinner, or sit through a movie that he wants to see with him... I don't know, whatever he likes, in exchange for him going to the doctor to get checked! :) Let me know if you need more help, and good luck!!

Try and talk him into seeing an eye doctor. I can't believe his parents aren't making him go.
Leaving in contacts that long can cause serious eye damage, as I'm sure your mom has told you. Loss of eyesight wouldn't be very good, especially if it could have been avoided. So talk to him about it. Maybe get mom to say something if she hasn't already. :)
