How do you heal stinging, dry eyes from wearing contact lenses too long?

Question

I have been wearing my contacts for longer periods of time than I was advised to. When I take my contact lenses out, the area which is covered by my contacts starts to sting a lot. Can this be healed? Will I have to stop wearing contact lenses permanently? HELP! I look super bad with glasses and I think my self-esteem would be crushed if I had to wear them every day.

Answer 1

Only wear your contacts in public when you absolutely have to. Wear your glasses as much as possible and use artificial tears and throw away your current contacts. Do this until it clears up.

Answer 2

my sisters eyes get red all the time and hurt because of how long she wears it or if she sleeps with it. she just puts eye drops from over the counter, and that usually heals it. but if it doesn't go away maybe you need to go to the eye doctor.

Answer 3

just use some eyedrops. thats what i do. it stops pretty fast.

Answer 4

See or contact a doctor for further refrence or just try using a different solution to clean them

Answer 5

water, blink a lot or the contact solution thing. you should take them off when you sleep or else your eyes get infections
