The doctor prescribed me Lotopred, Ikul, Systane ultra eye drops for every four hours a week and said not to wear lenses for 10 days. I followed the instructions and my eyes got back to normal. However, now I face some redness in my left eye upon waking up in the morning (mild red veins can be seen) After wearing contacts,my left eye looks slightly pink. Could anybody please help me with a solution to fix this.
I'm 17 yrs. old and every time I wear contact lenses my eyes become red and bloodshot. My left eye is a lot worse than my right one! I went to my eye doctor and he INSISTED that it was just because my eyes were dry. I have very large eyes and live in a dry climate, so I suppose that might be a factor... So I bought Systane eyedrops yesterday and have been using them since. The redness seems slightly better, but it's still there.
I am a contact lens wearer, and I continually getting eye infections, for about the past 2 years. (I've been wearing contacts for about 5 years.) My eyes get very red and become painful, and occasionally swell. I become very light-sensitive and my pupils constrict to the point where I can barely keep my eyes open. I have removed my lenses to see a mucus-like build up on several occasions. My doctor has prescribed me TobraDex in the past, which sometimes helps after a few days.
Hi, I was diagnosed with 'Ocular Rosacea' and 'Dry Eye Syndrome'. I have used Restasis and have tried allergy drops. My eyes are always red and feel as if I have something in them (which is the bumps under my eyelids). Does anyone know what I can do about this. I've been to so many eye Dr's. and I cannot get them cleared up. I used to wear contact lenses and now I can no longer wear them. It has been almost 5 years since I was able to wear my contacts.
I have worn contacts for many years,but recently they stopped making the style I have worn for most of those years. Since then I have had a lot of trouble. I will get a new pair/brand and they Wil be ok for a few weeks them they are blurry and uncomfortable. When I get checked the Dr always says they aren't fitting right and moving too much. Recently he noted giant capillary conjunctivitis, and gave me pataday drops.
It's more likely to be related to allergies or dry eyes and less likely to be due to the lenses. Go back to your old glasses and see if you still have the symptoms. That should prove to you it's not from the lenses.
My eyes experience a mild redness (especially in the inside corners of eyes), burning, uncomfortable irritation with increased light sensitivity for the past three months that occurred initially during a trial of Xalatan (I was not wearing contact lenses at the time). I've been to three opthalmologists (one is a repected corneal/external disease specialist at university).
But this time when i saw the doctor he said i had some conjunctivitis in the eyelids and that i would just continue on Pataday and some more drops for at least a month. I did tht and when i came in for my checkup the doctor said my eyes only looked dry. He perscribed more Pataday and some eye drops and told me in about a week i could resume with contacts that were dailys . A week after has passed and my eyes are getting red.
Hi all, I have a question about my contact lenses. I'll try to be as thorough as possible.
I've been wearing monthly soft contact lenses for 7 years to correct myopia (-4.25 left, -3.75 right, slight astigmatism in the left eye). I'm 26 and male. Occasionally I neglected proper care by not washing my hands or wearing them beyond a month but that was the exception. Ordinarily I didn't wear them beyond the prescribed periods, nor did I sleep with them in.
I don't know if this is sort of the same, but anyhow,,I only wear my right contact lense now because with them both in, I can't read.....at first my doc was making the left one weaker so that I can read with my lenses in (I don't need reading glasses only need lenses for distance) and then I told her I just put one lense in and its so much better - I can see distance - and can read whenever I want real easy if I only wear one lense......she said its fine to do that.
If you are wearing rigid contact lenses, then yes, you can thoroughly clean and soak the lens and wear it. Instead of falling back on old contact lenses it would be better if you had a working pair of glasses for those times when your current contacts are "being serviced" (by which I assume you mean, being polished).
hi. i wear dailies contact lenses only on special occasions. today i tried them on and i realized that i couldn't see very well far away, like reading signs because it was blurry. i made sure that i took proper steps and handled them with care but my vision was still blurry far away. i took them off and tried on my glasses and could see perfectly normal again. why would i see better with glasses then contacts. i have focus dailies with aquacomfort plus.
So if your eyes are healthy (except for the nearsightedness and floaters) you can wear contact lenses despite your floaters.
The doctor who saw you probably mentioned that you should come back immediately if you see a sudden, new batch of floaters that look like a shower of black dots, a 'swarm of bees' or a black 'curtain' in any part of your vision - or if you see any other sudden change in your vision.
Contacts are very safe i would recommend getting them from a eye doctor to make sure your getting everthing coorect
