contacts infection
i had an infection in my eye and now it got transferred onto only one of my contacts (the one that was in the eye with the infection). well now the infection in my eye went away so i put my contacts back in and then my eye hurt again.
i've realized that the infection is now stuck on my contact and it is new so i can't just throw it away and start a new one so i was wondering if there is any type of cleaner that is safe to put on my contact lens to get the infection out?
thanks!

if you dont want to get new contacts all together, just replace the contact that has the infection in it. you cant get the infection away for sure and if you keep using it then it will just give you the infection again.

I'm sorry but no there is no way. If you cleaned it already and it still makes your eye hurt don't use it. I did that last year and it made the infection keep coming back. I know it sucks since your contacts are new, but it's worth it in the end.

Normallyl, if you have washed your contact off in your regular saline solution and it still hurts when you put it in your eye, you throw it away. Whether it's 2 months old or 2 days old. Your eyes aren't something you want to be taking risks with. It could even be torn or something. You never know.
That said, your situation is not a normal one. I doubt that an eye infection can stick to a contact like you are describing. My guess is that the contact is irritating your eye just because your eye is sensitive having just gotten over an infection.
Don't wear your contacts for the time being and make a call to your eye doctor. Let him/her know that it hurts. Ask if it's possible for the infection to be on the contact. If no, ask how long you should wait before wearing your contacts again. If yes, ask how you can get it off. Only an eye doctor can accurately answer your questions.
Good luck. :)

on the safe side you really should start a new pair of contacts, atleast in that one eye. nothing could surely get the infection off of it.
hope i helped =]
