Question:

My eye is really red after sleeping with contacts in?

but only one eye is red. and i think it also kinda hurts and is irritated, especially when in more light. what do i do? what happened?


Answers:

Your eyes need moisture and oxygen.When you wear contacts your eyes don't recieve these on the covered area.The longer they are worn the less they get,how much and what this does to your eyes varies from person to person.30 day contacts allow more air to get to the covered part of your eye,but some people who have chronic dry eyes still can't get away with wearing them more then 8 hours.If someone continuously wears contacts without giving their eyes time to get air the blood vessels in your eyes will actually grow around the edges of where the lense sits and give you permenant bloodshoty eyes.I know this sadly,from experience.Flush your eyes with saline and take some time off from your contacts for a day or two.If they don't improve head to an eye doctor and get some antibiotic drops.The light sensitivity has always gone along with an eye infection,at least in me personally.You contact may have dried and scratched your cornea a bit while sleeping.Your eyes may not be equally affected,you might have got away with the other eye.
