Could I have scratched my eye?!
Question:
Could I have scratched my eye?
The corner of my right eye is red and irritated and sometimes it bothers me. I don't have blurry vision or discharge. I have contacts but they're not damaged, the weird thing is that when I take my contacts off, it starts bothering me but when I put them back on after 10 minutes I can't even feel it.
Answers:
When you say "bother" and what you mean is that your eyes feel as if there's something in them, then you might have a corneal abrasion.
As for feeling more comfortable with your contacts on, this is also consistent with a corneal abrasion, the contact lens actually covers the abraded area nd makes it feel better.
Unfortunately, there is no way for you to confirm if you do have an abrasion or not by simply using a mirror. You will need to see an ophthalmologist and be properly evaluated so you can be treated accordingly.
