Question:
Is this a sty, is it connected with new contact lenses or lens solution?
I recently got new contacts im having all sorts of problems with. They are generics (biomedics premier 55) and Im switching them to something else on Tuesday (something rated for extended wear as well as 1-2 week, ie Acuvue oasys, I wont be wearing them extended, I just want my eyes to feel good with them on)
It started in my right eye within a day or two aftfer getting the lenses. When the lenses were out I felt like there was something in my eye. After careful inspection of my eye 5 days later I realized it was something like a sty. No swelling, no pain, tiny pustule on lower lid that was right below pupil area that felt like a hair or something was constantly in my eye.
It finally went away but today I now have on in my left eye the same exact place and same symptoms as above. Could this be due to irritation from contact? Maybe from the solution Im using? Maybe its just a coincidence (Ive never had these before)? I should point out Im very very good about hygiene and contact care
Answers:
based on that description...nobody is going to know. sounds like possibly a "stye", but could also be from contact lens wear. dont know. someone is probably going to have to actually see that on your eyelid before you'll know exactly what it is.
but if you've never had it before and now you do...right after you switched to a new brand of contacts...that makes a case for it being possibly related to the wear of those contacts...
