Itchy eyes should i change my lenses?!
Question:
Itchy eyes should i change my lenses?
I am a soft contact lens user and i've been using lenses for the last 12 years. I bought a new pair of contact lenses about 6 months ago. Since yesterday i've developed severe itching in my left eye after 4-5 hours of wearing.
Is it a problem with my lenses or eye?
Is it anything to do with dry eye as i am inside an aircondititioned area?
When i remove the lenses i see a strong circular impression of my eye (the eye black) in the lenses? Anything to do with lens size etc?
Would a disposable lenses be a better option than the regular?
Any help, advise would be of immense help.
Answers:
You need an optometrist as soon as you can get an appointment.
There are a thousand and one (it seems) conditions that can affect the eyes. Most of them involve itching of some kind. ALL of them are bad.
Do you REALLY want to take the chance of screwing up your vision, because you were too "busy" to take an hour out of your day to have this seen to?
