wearing contacts lenses.....?

What To Do

1.Wash and rinse your hands before touching your lenses.

2.Use only the lens cleaners and eye drops that your eye doctor suggests.

3.Follow the directions that came with your lenses, lens cleaner, and eye drops.

4.Take care of your lens case. Clean, rinse, and dry it each time you take out the lenses. Get a new case every six months.

5.Get your eye doctor's OK using any new or different medicines. Tell your doctor about things you can buy without a prescription, like eye drops or lens cleaners.

Use eye makeup that is safe for contact lens users.

Take out your lenses and call your eye doctor right away if:

your vision changes.

your eyes are red.

your eyes hurt or feel itchy.

you have a lot of tears.

What Not to Do

1.Never spit on your lenses to clean them.

2.Never use tap water, bottled water, or salt water made at home to store or rinse your lenses. It can cause infections.

3.Never mix different cleaners or drops.

4.Never let lotions, creams, or sprays touch your lenses.

6.Don't use eyeliner on the inside of your lower eyelid.

7.Never wear lenses when you swim or go into a hot tub.

8.Never wear your lenses when you are using cleaning products.

9.Never wear daily-wear lenses when you sleep--not even during a nap.

10.Never wear your lenses longer than you eye doctor tells you to.

If you have made sure that you are following the above procedures and your eyes still hurt, then you should definitely see an eye specialist.

Hope this helps!

If your eyes hurt it could be because your using a solution that is irritating your eyes. Make sure your contacts have no tears, sometimes you can't notice they're torn. I use Renew and it works for me, but sometimes not all solutions work. When I first started using contacts when I was around 15, my eyes would get irritated, I never new if it was because of the lense or my age, i've been wearing contacts for about 15 years continously and i haven't had any problems. So you might consider going to your doctor and checking it out.

I would go see the doctor you got the lenses from. The lenses may be damaged in some way that is not visible. If see your eye doctor doesn't help, go see your famaily doctor. You might have a stigmatism that won't allow you to wear contact lenses or you may have s severe allergy to the solution.

Make sure you have clean hands. Rinse off your contact lenses before you go to bed. Let them soak overnight. Rinse them again when you get up, again with clean hands. Make sure you don't put them on inside out. If that doesn't help, see an eye care professional.

Try to take them out and put them back in. Your eyes might need to get some air. And get some drops for CONTACT LENSES I know that helped me when I first Started to where them.

GO TO YOUR EYE DOCTOR! You need to make sure that you don't have an infection or other eye condition that the contacts are causing or making worse. In the meantime, you should wear your glasses.

If i were you, i'd change to normal glasses for a while (one day) and then put on your contacts again. Don't wear your contacts too often, though. If is still hurt after you put them on, just go to a doctor.

trust me, i have glasses and contacts.

You should probably see the opthomologist who gave you the contacts.. my contacts were hurting and it ended up that i had conjunctivitis... they gave me meds and i was find .. and they swtiched me to daily contacts instead of weekly.. also ifyou have allergies that could be a reason

hope you feel better

Do not wait!!!!!!!!!!!! Go see your doctor now! You vision is precious, don't mess with it. Be careful if you use Bausch and Lomb, I got an eye infection last week from the solution.

I think you should go and see a doctor or someone because you must be careful with these things.you never know.Anyway. I hope everything is OK.Maybe is an allergic reaction or something
