My eye is on fire.

Contact problem. For some reason my right eye seems to be almost..rejecting my contacts. If I leave a contact in for a while in my right eye the contact will start sliding, slipping then become irritadated and start to fall out. I started to remove the right contact when I could and just wear the left one and then I noticed that the amount of time before the irritation started increased, so i've been attempting to go without the right contact as much as possible to see if it would fix itself. Just recently I dozed off for a bit with both contacts in and now it feels like there is something in my right eye whenever I blink but there's nothing there. I've tried changing to a new pair of contacts but the issue remains. Any ideas?

    Sounds like either the contact is inside out or you may have the wrong size for your right eyeball.

    Have you tried a new contact? I know one of mine had a tiny tear in it. I could barely see it. But my eye doctor took one look at it and saw it.

    Just threw it away and got another one from my supply, and I was set.

    Yeah i've already tried switching it out for another. It worked for a few days then the problem came right back. Is it possible that I tore it again in that short amount of time? Oh and it's been an on going problem so i've tried flipping it in and out a ton but since it only occurs in my right eye I figure something is up. Oh and right now it is irritated without any contact in so i'm doing that...half vision thing.

    Maybe you scratched your eye?

    I'd take out both contacts, let your eyes rest for a few days to a week, and during that time possibly see an eye doctor.

    Yeah i'm figuring that's going to be me next option as I noted that my tolerance to the contact went up in relation to how long I had not been wearing the contact. Problem is, I don't have glasses. My fault on that one, oh well.
