HELP! Burned eye with lens cleaner?

Question

Okay so my mother picked up solution for me (bad idea) and she picked up the cleaner instead of the regular solution. Last night I put my lenses in it (soft lenses) and tried putting one in this morning and it burned like h**l. I fell over it hurt so bad.

Now my eye is a little swollen and bloodshot and it feels like I have an eyelash or something stuck in it. What should I do? I've flushed it with regular solution.. Should I use some visine or just leave it.

Answer 1

Make sure you've flushed your eyes out really well. You might have done it well enough with regular solution, but I'd suggest a little more flushing with water. Visine will help with the redness and might make your eye feel more comfortable.

When you get a new type of solution, ALWAYS read the instructions. You can permanently damage your eyes that way.
