Answer 1

go to the doctor.. you have a cold/infection or buy some visine ... you shouldn't sleep with contacts on..should you?

Answer 2

I do not wear contacts , But  I thing u need to rinse it out with eye wash and may be clean your contacts with solution ,they have this local stores. and try not sleeping in them.

Answer 3

Unless your contacts are meant for sleeping with, you should never ever sleep with contact lenses. Your eye needs oxygen, and the redness means you've deprived it of oxygen. You don't have an infection, but I'd recommend seeing an optometrist and not wearing your contacts for at least two weeks.

I can't stress this enough, don't sleep with your contacts lenses unless they are meant for it.

Answer 4

Sounds like an infection. Probably should go to the doc. Maybe go a few days w/out sleeping in them. Take'em out at night. Have you been around anyone with pink eye?

Answer 5

Yeah it could be infected, you shouldn't sleep with them in. If it is infected, don't put the contact in the other eye because the infection could spread. If it is infected, no big deal, it just sucks for a few days. Go get some red-eye drops at the store. And let your eyes breathe every now and then! They don't like contacts all the time :)

Answer 6

my younger cousin sleeps in her contacts too and her eyes do that, you must take them out at night, they are not meant to stay in your eyes for that long, she now has to wear stronger glasses/contacts and has to use daily eye drops from the contacts! so please start taking them out at night and if it still does it go to your doctor!

Answer 8

goodness girl! DONT EVER SLEEP WITH YOUR CONTACTS IN!

that is really bad for your eye. deprives it of oxygen and increases chances of infection.

Answer 9

You know that you shouldn't wear contacts to sleep right. It's bad, I knew this one girl who almost lost her vision because of that.

Answer 10

same thing happened to me and I went to my optometrist....

could be very irritated from protein deposits on your contacts from improper cleaning techniques or in this case, lack of cleaning and lack of oxygen from extensive wearing....try not wearing your contacts for a few days and let your eyes relax and in the mean time, do an extensive cleaning on it like with ClearCare or just toss the old lenses and use a new pair and use Systane 4 times a day to remoisturize your eyes....

eyes got all better after about 3 days, no more red eyes and crusties in the morning...lucky it wasn't an infection  :)

Answer 11

oh gosh, take off the contacts and DONOT wear them!!!!

change the pair! well, dont wear no contacts for about 3 days!  your eye is going to keep getting red and it will prolly be really sensitive to light...and it will get really watery.

in order for it no to get serious, just remove the contacts and keep rinsing your eye with visine eye relief drops...and do not put the contacts on until your eye feels better. it prolly got infected since you sleep in them every night. you have to take them off doll, i know becuase it happened to me. and by any chance, do you wear eyeliner? becuase that also increases the risk

Answer 12

do not keep em on while sleeping! see ur GP, u might need an eyedrop for a week or so..

Answer 13

Its dying....
