What did i do wrong with my contacts?!


Question: What did i do wrong with my contacts?
Woah. I just went to the eye doctor because one of my eyes was a little red on the side. He said it was an eye infection! But how did i get it? Now i cant wear contacts(obviously) or makeup for 10 days!And i had to throw out all of my eye makeup ($100 worth of it :P ) But i ALWAYS washed my hands before putting my contacts in, and i put my makeup on after putting my contacts in! I really have no clue how i got this eye infection. Someone help please!? Thanks

Answers:

If you were careful then you have just been unlucky. You don't have to wear contacts to get an eye infection although they increase risk. If you are washing your hands correctly then the other thing to check is the case and the solution. If you knock over the solution bottle the tip can become contaminated for example. Also what about drying your hands? Is the towel you are using wholly clean? Does anyone else use it? I tend to keep a small lint free towel just for my contacts ( a tea towel actually).



ur not supose to wear certain mascaras n eyeliner with contacts!! u may have gotten some eyeshadow trapped under ur contact which could have caused it!! if u wear eyeliner you should pare it every time u use it to prevent spread of infection!! DONT THROW OUT UR MAKEUP!! ok throw out ur mascara n get a new but just one pare your eyeliners and scrape off a little of the top layres of your eyeshadows!!! its insane to throw out that much makeup!!!
