Joys of wearing contacts

Last contact fell on the floor and I have no idea where it is. I took a dirty one out of the trash and soaked it in the saline, it may or may not be fine in the morning.

The fears of the lens-wearers. I have so many.

This is a bad idea.

Once my left eye was feeling really irritated and I could not for the life of me figure out why.

It bothered me so much I went into a Starbucks and bought something just to use the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and my left eye was redder than the surface of the sun.

I looked closer but I couldn’t see the lens itself, never mind cringing at the sight of my own red eyeball. Kept gently rubbing my eyelids and putting in eyedrops in the hopes they would reappear. I was terrified that it could’ve went behind my eyeball. I’ve heard stories.

After what seemed like hours, the damn lens finally reappeared. Somehow, it had been folded in half and the bottom part of it was sticking out from underneath my top eyelid.

I got so frustrated with my contacts because of this that I took them both out and reverted to glasses. For that whole week.

Pray for your eyeballs.

The same exact thing happened to me last year when I was still in high school! I was sitting in class and rubbed my eye (bad call) and my eye suddenly started burning. I went to the bathroom and could not find the contact so I had to sit through another class period, which is an hour and a half long, before I could go home and attempt to fish my contact out from under my eyelid. I was sure my contact went behind my eyeball. I didn’t rediscover it until I was driving home and saw it in the outer corner of my eye as I was about to go into a roundabout. I kept it in that position until I got home and could properly get it out. This was on Halloween so I was dressed as a sack of potatoes, no less.

I still haven’t learned my lesson as I occasionally have the same thing happen to me, but I know how to handle it now.

I always keep a pair of glasses in my Rx as a backup. I’d rather wear them than wear contacts past their date or out of the trash if I run out. Good luck - hopefully it cleans up well enough to get you through.

When I was a teenager, I’d get allergic rections so bad that the whites of my eyes would swell taller than the iris. Like: swollen so bad the once-white-now-red would ramp down to the iris.

Thankfully, I left Ohio and the landscaping business.

Contacts are fun. And, for me, soft lenses that could deal with wildly asymmetrical imperfections were a godsend.

Funnily, that story is from my high school years.

I wish you luck and no eye infections, I had to give up on wearing my dailies this spring due to pollen so a comfortable pair of glasses are a must.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me once too.
