hey there,
okay so ive been wearing contact lenses for about 6,7months. they are the soft monthly disposables they are great and i have no problems with them i recently went for a check up to see if they were working my optiitian said everything was great and the type of lenses were working for me.
but today I went to put in my right lense fine no problem,but the left one really stung,this might happen the odd time but it settles but my eye went really watery and blood shot so I had to take it out. I let my eyes relax for an hour then tried again the same thing,my mom said I should leave them out for a day or two then see.
but im kinda worried..is this serious..?has anyone who has contact lense ever expierinced this and know what it might be?.. i checked online and some solutions said it could be a smile scratch on my eye(cornial abrasion)? but my eye isnt that sore without the lense in just gets iritated when i put it in?.
Im worried to go see my optitian because honestly I dont know what il do if i cant wear my lenses again :(
im probably over reacting but if anyone knows anything about this please help i need some reassurance!
It's highly unlikely that you'll be unable to wear contacts again. My boyfriend has permanent eye damage from his contacts (he spraypaints and the paint got stuck on his contacts, he put them in backwards, and they scratched the hell out of his eye) and he can still wear them.

If i were you then i would throw the lense away and just try with a new one. If it does the same thing then you should probabaly go to your doctor [ Askme247's advice column | Ask Askme247 A Question ]
