What happened to my eye?!


Question: What happened to my eye?
When I woke up yesterday morning, I remember I slept with my contacts and when I was going to take the contact out, I accidentally poked my eye slightly. Later that day I remember my eye became red and I felt this major burn and I could barely open it while tears would just pour out when I tried. So I put ice on it the whole day and used eye drops. I went to bed last night and I just woke up now and right now Im feeling the worst burn in my eye. I can barely open it and tears constantly run down my face from it. The eye is very red too. Do you think I bruised the eyeball? What do I do about this please help me. Thanks so much.

i always laugh when someone suggests in these cases that its an "abrasion". the OP has never removed his lens. the lens is a barrier. the 1 thing it pretty much CANNOT be is an "abrasion".

when you sleep in contacts you're at risk for bacterial infection ("ulcer") and inflammatory events (like "infiltrative keratitis"). the latter is the most likely scenario.

take the lens OUT. go to the eye doctor.

You probably put germs in your eye and your eye is trying to wash itself...

If it starts to have any mucus i think you should go to the doctor for a course of antibiotics...

I hope you get better soon=D



Could be a corneal abrasion. GO. TO. YOUR. OPHTHALMOLOGIST.
