Question

When I went to the beach I got sand in my eye. And when my contacts are out it feels like something is in there..but when i look and clean my eye.. i see nothing.

PLEASE HELPP

Answer 1

don't leave your contacts in all weekend again! don't put them in tomorrow and put eye drops in your eye

Answer 2

Please stop wearing the lenses for a few days and let the eye rest.

Answer 3

Put in some refreshing drops and don't wear your contacts tomorrow.

After abusing your eyes like that for the weekend, they need a break.

A day or 2 without them will do wonders.

Answer 4

After leaving your contacts in all weekend you've probably got some swelling of your cornea due to lack of oxygen reaching your eyes. Wear your glasses for a while. If, after a few days, you still feel pain go see your primary care provider. He/She will look at your eyes with an opthalmascope and may be able to see something in your eye that you couldn't see yourself.

Answer 5

You probably scratched your cornea.  Go to the doctor and get eye drops!  That will make them feel better.
