I wear contacts all the time, now I'm basically blind without them, help?!
Question: I didn't listen to my eye doctor and I have monthly contacts. I never take them out at night (I got a pair of glasses and I was supposed to wear them at night to rest my eyes but I lost them) and now if I take out my contacts, everything is a blur! I'm going back to the eye doctor soon to see what he says. If they tell me to do the same thing (wear contacts during the day, glasses at night), will my vision ever be fixed? Before I was only near sighted, now I doubled that to having a very hard time seeing far away, even some stuff up close. Thanks!

The first smart thing you can do is get some more glasses so you can get those contacts out.
It wouldn't be surprising at all if you have already caused yourself some severe corneal damage.
If you are under 35, and have trouble focusing up close now, that is not a good sign.
I bet you don't even know if those contatcs are of a type that can be slept in at all.
You best be getting back to the Dr..... fast.
Bascially you have completely deprived your eyes of oxygen. I'll admit I do sometimes sleep with my lenses on, but never more than once a week. Just start doing what you are supposed to do. You may be able to have corrective sugery in the future.
