Eye infection from contacts?

Question

I have this infection from my contacts (or something). This is the second time. I do everything to take care of my contacts; i wash my hands before i put them in, i clean them with solution every night, i change the solution. So why is my eye infected- and yeah its only in my left eye. It happens every time I put a new pair in. Could it be that the contacts dont let my eyes "breath" enough. Why is it only in my left eye??? What is the problem?

Answer 1

u should definitely check with your doctor or you try changing solutions.  Sometimes that's all it takes I've had to change solutions myself because my previous one was irritating my eyes

Answer 2

Definately see your eye doctor about this. Could be a bad fitting contact lens. If changing solutions doesn't work, and keeping your contact lens case clean (air dry, and replace solution each night) then I would go for a contact lens check (should be free of charge if you aren't due for an exam) If its a good optomotrist he should work with you til  the problem is solved. (by giving you different lens to try, and switching solution) don't give up.

Answer 3

Since it's only one eye, it's more likely to be the fit of the contact than the contact brand or solution.  Go see your doc and have him check the fit.

Answer 4

This has actually happened to me a couple of times.  My eye doctor said that it was because I either wasn't changing my disposable contacts often enough, or because that particular type of contact or contact solution was irritating my eye.  You should probably go to your eye doctor and let him/her take a look at it.  Eye infections aren't something you want to mess around with!

Answer 5

go to your eye doctor because your eye might not be responding to that type of contact or the solution. try working with a different a solution and if that doesnt work then you have to change the brand of your contacts

Answer 6

probably they r just not meant for u

Answer 7

are you maybe allergic to something in the solution that the manufactuer stores the new contacts in? Maybe that eye is just more sensative.

Try a new solution, maybe that would help. Or maybe you should try the hydrogen peroxide type solution. I use that one for my contacts and it works great! ( it comes with its own special lense case thats specially designed for that type of solution and it is safe for soft disposable lenses, I use day&night contacts)

You just can't put it in your eyes directly. It might help in killing a bactieria your sensative too...

Are you changing your lense case regularly? They can grow bacteria as well.

hope these ideas help.
