Are my eyes infected?

Question

I slept with my contacts in on Tuesday night by accident and they were really itchy yesterday. My eyes got puffy and red because of the rubbing and my friend thought I was crying

Today my eyes were burning, they felt solid like a board when I rubbed them, they were watery, puffy and red from rubbing, bloodshot from rubbing,dry, and when I put the over the counter eye drops in they burned my eyes.

Could this be pink-eye?

My eyes also kept crusting like when you wake up today and for some reason I have a headache and I always get headaches and toothaches when my eyes hurt.

My eyes feel sticky right now even though they are dry and not crusty

when I took my contacts out it felt like there was an eyelash or something in my eye for like 10 minutes and it hurt really badly

I do also have allergies. It's really tempting for me to rub my eyes because its so itchy. Some part of it might be my allergies too.....maybe?

Answer 1

yes,........... go to an optomitrist or whatever soon

Answer 2

Yes, that's an eye infection. Change your contacts and see your eye doctor. He/she will prescribe you some eye drops.

Also, avoid rubbing your eyes. The bacteria from your hands and fingers are easily transmitted to your eyes and could make the situation worse.

Answer 3

You could have injured your cornea by leaving the contacts in.  

   See the Dr that prescribed the contacts and don't wear your contacts until you do.
