What is wrong with my eyes??!
Question: My eyes have been red for almost a month now, and near the edges of my iris the redness is a bit blurry which could be due to my contact lenses (acuvue 2's)....I was wondering what could this be caused by and how I could treat them?? I've been limiting wearing my contacts to only when necessary (4 hours or less a day). They don't really hurt or ooze and there has been no change in my vision. any opinions would be greatly appreciated, I don't have eye insurance coverage so I would like to find some way to treat it myself if possible.

that could be caused by a number of things:
allergies, infection, and overwearing are just to name a few.
take your contacts out and THROW THEM AWAY! wear your glasses, this is a EXCELLENT example of why contact lens wearers should have a pair of glasses too! you shouldn't put your contacts back in until the redness has gone away! if it persists see your eye doctor for some drops!
also, with a case like this your HEALTH insurance would cover it, not your eye insurance, because it is a "medical" problem!!! Hopefully that helps you!
get new contact lenses
Ditch the contacts, start using antibiotic drops if u can get some.
get laser eye surgery
yo man stop smokeing the weed dude
Stop using your contacts.
go see an eye doctor
you could have pink eye

I agree -- it's disgusting! Posted 08:35AM (EST) on 2007-01-08 by Anonymous Report abuse
Jules! I've had tremendous problems with my eyes, although I suspect it was a combination of old makeup and contact lens overuse, in addition to a sensitivity to staph bacteria. The results have been a lot worse than either stys or conjunctivitis, though. I've gotten a handful of eye ulcers that cause the most excruciating pain I've ever experienced, preceded by a day or so of hazy, cloudy vision. Moral: wash your face well, especially around your eyes. Posted 01:40PM (EST) on 2007-01-05 by STDiva Add to friends Send message Report abuse
This is good to keep in mind. Sometimes I'll use a Q-tip to try eye shadow at a makeup counter. If after applying the makeup I decide to try some more, I always get a fresh Q-tip -- I don't "double dip." I hope other women do the same.

well wat you should do is ask ppl in ur family are they profesionals if not then i would recommend cleaning your eyes frequently and if your lenses are prescribed then wear them mabey it is because of this
It sounds like you have eye allergies. One of my friends had this prob and now she uses eye drops 30 minutes before she puts in her contacts and she can wear her contacts like she did before she was diagnosed with eye allergies. Def go to doctor. Never try to treat your eye probs yourself. It's too dangerous. You could lose you vision!
somebody has too much to drink!!! lol just joax.im no doctor but i would say you might just have very noticable capilleries (the tiny veins) in there.seriously though i would have that checked at a free clinic or something if thats your worry with insurance,you never know i dont mean to alarm you but it could be developing something in behind that you cant see,just chek it befor it gets worse and if it starts to hurt then go to a hospital for sure.hope it helps
You need to talk to a physician about this, it's not normal for eyes to be red. There could be some infection or allergic reaction or your contacts are not right for your eyes or something, as the general public we don't have much medical knowledge which might result in unsafe advice or wrong answers.
You know we only have one pair of eyes. Sounds like you may have an infection. I believe it worth you checking this out with a doctor preferably an Ophthalmologist. Good luck.
