Question

here's what my contact is doing to one of my eyes....

but they're trial contacts, should i continue wearing them (night&days by focus)? or just go back to my old ones until i can get back into the optometrist?

what could be causing them to make my eye look 'cut up'?

i think the base curve is too small.

Answer 1

I think it's probably just a lubrication issue, or your eyes trying to get used to the contacts.  

If you're wearing them at night they could be drying up a bit and chaffing; even if the box says they're for night and day, I wouldn't wear them overnight often.  

You might take them out for a little while if they're irritating your eyes so much.  When you wear them again, be sure to keep them well-lubricated with the saline eye drops.

Answer 2

the exact same thing happened to me and it irritated me but after a while the irritation went away the "cut up" look was still there and my eyes are fine. however you might want to get different brand of contacts cause im using focus now and i dont like i at all. it doest diffuse moisture well and i practically had the pull them off my eyes. i think that acuve is the best

Answer 3

Yeah, you shouldn't wear them at night.  I know a woman who did that and really screwed up her eyes.  She had to have major eye surgery.

Answer 4

If it were me, i would take them out and wear my glasses until my eye cleared up.  It's hard to say the cause of the problem by just the picture but i would guess maybe they are fitting too tight - but just a guess.

Answer 5

Take them out and see an Ophthalmologist. It could be nothing but better safe than sorry. And to reply to your earlier comment, you can wear them for up to 30 days but you can also get a severe eye infection which can cause you to lose the eye. I would remove your contacts every night. You only get one pair of eyes.
