Filed under FAQ on advance for astigmatism
I slept with my contact lenses on, [monthly's THICK!!!!] I use the astigmatism ones so there are like 3x thicker than plastic wrap. I just woke [ where I am it 4:45 in the morning.] and they were all cloudy whne i first looked at the tv. I took them both out in the bathroom. After I did, they were red.Now, the right hand courner of my right eye hurts bad!!! =’[ I didn’t put visine or anything because its bad or something??
As for my left eye its perfectly fine. the other eye feels like theirs a crumb stuck in the corner. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP IM REALLY SCARED!!
It’s ok calm down. I have slept in my lenses before and sometimes the eye gets irritated because you have an “unnatural” product in them for long periods of time. It’s kind of like getting dust in your eye or scratching your eye. The eye can be red and inflamed for a couple days. DON’T PLAY/MESS WITH YOUR INFLAMED EYE (sorry to use caps but it is very important, you could introduce bacteria to your already sensitive eye and cause infection). Don’t wear your contacts for a day or two, give your eyes time to heal. Your eyes can feel dry and sensitive for a few days. Watch closely and note any negative changes (as in the eye remaining inflamed and not healing) this can be a sign of infection. As with any irritation monitor it and if it gets better (it most likely will) you’re fine if not there’s the possibility of infection ad you need to see an eye doctor.
Do not wear your lenses for a few days, just reiterating that, it will help the eye heal faster to give it a rest
You will not go blind I promise just take good care of your eyes and you will be fine =)
As it is your first time,it should not have made any damage to your eye.but Prolonged wear of them while sleeping is not good for your Cornea.There is no chance of your getting blind.So don’t worry.Your eyes should get normal after a day or two.They hurt cos of the pressure exerted on your cornea by the Contacts ,when you closed your eyes fo sleep.
Advise:Always remember to take the off while going to sleep.Secondly,Try not wearing Contacts for few days,Wear your Glasses.
Good Luck
