Dreaded Conacts!!!!!?

Question

I have worn contacts for years. now, now every time i wear them for more than a day my eyes are on FIRE. I use the disposable ones, or biweekly ones. anything i can do?

Answer 1

You are probably using a silicone hydrogel lens right now since you are wearing it continously.  I would go see your eye doctor and ask about switching to a daily disposable instead.  It seems as though your eyes are screaming for oxygen, or possibly irritated by a more serious infection.  I would not wait, things will only progress with time.

Answer 2

Several guesses, you can see an eye doctor for a complete assessment.  When a long time contact patients suddenly has problems, I look for allergic reaction.  First of all, some change in cosmetics; new moisturizer, foundation, suntan lotion, soap, etc, etc.  If you recently made a change here, tru removing that product and see if that helps.  Secondly, did you recently change contact lens solution, each one uses a different preservative and some people have little tolerance for some types.  Finally, and most likely, we are neck deep in allergy season, and they absolutely WREAK HAVOC on contact lenses.  If you problems are watery, itchy eye that are worse at the end of the day and improve with removal of contact lenses...that's allergies.  Zaditor is a great over the counter eye that when used twice a day can be very helpful.  I hope this has helped, this can be very frustrating for you and me (eye doctor).  Take Care.
