Horribly red eye
My right eye has gotten red since the summer of 2011 only when I put a contact lense in. So recently I went to
my doctor and she prescribed an antibiotic which I used daily every two hours. On our last appoinent she said I could go
back to lenses, so I went go school in lenses and my eye got red again! This time the entire white if the eye was red so I put some drops in and went to bed. This morning, I wake up and it's still red and now it hurts. What should I do?
Please dont tell me to change solution, case, or lenses. I already tried.

If you are reading this in school go to the nurses office. Ask them to call 911 NOW. Eyes are considered life and limb situations and are a good reason to call 911. You need to be seen by a doctor NOW.
DangerNerd is correct we are not Doctors. I am a first responder an I can tell you; If I was one of the responders I would be urging you to allow us to go to take you to the emergency room. Actually where I live, as a 16 year old you would have no choice if the school nurse agreed. You would be taken to the emergency room like it or not since you are below the age of consent.
There is something wrong with your eye. Either you are allergic to the lens, the cleaning solution or you have an infection. If left untreated you could very well loose the sight in that eye. Worse you could lose the eye itself. GET TO A DOCTOR KNOW.
Call mom or dad if need be; go to a hospital emergency room if you can not get an appointment for today with your Optometrist. In the mean time wear your glasses.

Hi there,
This is a problem you need to take care of right away.
There are NO doctors on this site. This is why you should consider following the advice below:
One of the users of this site lost the vision in one of his eyes with a similar reaction to contact lenses.
You shouldn't wait. I would consider going to the emergency room. If it were me, I would be heading out the door right now.
Tell your parents about the pain. Don't wait around. Then, for the future please think about this:
How stupid would you feel if you lost your sight because you were too vain to wear glasses?
Back to the moment: Don't put the lenses back in just head to the doctor.
If you don't want to go to the emergency room, then you are going to have to call your optometrist's emergency number and get her into her office early.
Don't delay.
