My right eye is burning

No I'm not trying to be witty with that remark.

I wear soft contacts for my near sightedness. About 3 days ago, my right eye started to burn. It hurt so much.

I took my contacts out and put on the glasses and it stopped.I cut down on the amount of time I wear them from 14 hours a day to 10.

I took them out 2 hours ago and my right eye is burning again. It doesn't look bloodshot, but I'm worried.

What should I do?

Those with contacts experience please feel free to chime in, as well as any others who want to.

Dude, are you kidding? Go see an eye doctor for chrissakes. This does not sound like something you should just ignore. FWIW I've worn glasses/contacts for 18 years and I've never experienced what you're describing.

Nah I'm not joking.

I have Fridays off. I am a college student. I think I'll goto the campus health center later today and see a nurse practicioner. I don't want to have permanent damage. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I came into this thread only to make sure someone made the joke.

However yes, it is just too easy.

Good plan. Good luck.

Clean your contacts

I could be way off, but maybe it's conjuctivitis?

Just a guess. College kids sometimes get it(close living in dorms, etc.).

Edit: I forgot that's usually painless.

I soak them in that opti free express every night before I put them in.

My eye hurts without the contact in as well.
