Contact lens infection?!


Question: Contact lens infection!?
I fell asleep wearing my colored contact lenses on the plane!. When I removed my lenses, I was already wearing them for over 12 hours!. my eyes were red and I was unable to keep them open!. They don't itch and there is no discharge but they hurt when I try to keep them open for longer than a few seconds!.

I tried spalshing them wih cold water and using cold milk over my eyes but nothing seems to be working!. Please help!. It's hurting a lot and I just want to be able to use my eyes normally!. Help !Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You'll be okay!. The reason your eyes hurt is because when you sleep, your eyes reduce the amount of tears they make, which means your contacts dry out while they're in your eyes!. The dry contacts rub against your eyes, causing irritation!. This isn't an infection!.

You should take your lenses out of your eyes for about 24 hours to let your eyes rest!. Try not to sleep with your lenses in!. An over the counter painkiller will help you feel better also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
