I'm a dentist, not an opthalmologist.\n\nDon't do anything to it without first asking your physician (preferably an opthalmologist).\n\nYou will find that virtually all OTC eye-drops clearly state that they should not be used on infections or damaged eyes.\n\nOpthalmology is a very specialized area of medicine, and you are taking a major risk by asking for medical advice of a very specific specialty on a Yahoo message board!

do what the doctor told you to do...you may be making your eyes worse by not wearing them...if you really dont like then, then why dont you get contacts?

it is probably a sty, it will go away, place a warm washrag on it and that may bring it down a bit an help with the discomfort, to be safe go to a doctor, i mean...it's your eye, don't play around with it.  probably not serious though

Good Luck, I've had bleeding ulcers and they are not good but they can be fixed. Your Dr. will tell you all this, Relax and Good Luck.

Maybe try a different brand of contacts?  I had some that were very painful and my doctor switched me to Acuvue 2.  I love them.  Contacts shouldn't be uncomfortable, but if you had corneal scratches then I wouldn't recommend going back to the old ones.  You could get a painful and dangerous eye infection from a scratched cornea.  Acuvues are very soft and they might be better for you.  Definitely do not keep the ones you have if they're bothering you, but also don't go back to the old ones.

I have very sensitive eyes and have never been able to wear my contacts over night.   A couple times I've fallen asleep with them in.  It wasn't a nice experience.  It might be because they are toric lenses too...  Careful you don't get some odd eye infection leaving them in too long.

You must get to a Doctor and have them checked.  You definately need something to help with the wound healing.  Anytime you have cuts that are open are a red flag for infection.  It most likely will not be anything too serious that can't be fixed with proper care given.  As you asked, indeed it may be a nutrition item.

I wore contacts for about two years, and I had horrible habits with them; I had the "Night and Day" kind, but I would keep them in for up to two weeks at a time. I used the "No rub" solution, but barely cleaned them, and didn't put fresh solution in the case.  I ended up getting multiple ulcerated corneas in each eye, and can no longer wear contacts for more than one day out of every two weeks at the most.  I also have at least three scars in each eye, not to mention the extreme pain and light sensitivity I experienced when the infection was still there.  However, I'm lucky to still have my vision and the ability to wear contacts, no matter how infrequently.  Basically, keeping your contact lenses absolutely pristine is extremely important.

put warm compress on it it does work and dont touch it with finger because it was cause by bacteria and that's what's on your hands they also have a cream in the store called stye but it about 10.00 for it so warm compress work i had one just recently

you probably have a corneal abrasion if you go to the doctor they can prob give you some eye drops to help it heal

I get ulcers in my mouth. My doctor told me it's allergies. They gave me a great cure. I'v never had my ulcers feel better or go away quicker. It's stuff you can get over the counter. You mix Benidryl and Kaopectate and swish it around in your mouth then spit it out. :^)

I live in Alaska but do not use contacts as my eyes are to dry.  You should not have any problems with your contacts, but I would still see what the manufacture says and what your Op. has to offer on the subject.  Good Luck with your new job, dress warmly and buy good expensive socks or ware a light nylon sock with a heavy pile sock oven the lighter nylon...  Good Luck..

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

Sorry, as much as we'd all like it, the only way to kick this icky "pink eye" is to use the ointment or drops. ERYTHROMYCIN OPHTH OINT 3.5 GM is the stuff we had to get the last bout at our house.  We asked our Dr. and checked out other sources and found that you gotta have the medicine!!  Good luck!

i used to work at an eye dr office...several things could be causing your eyes to turn red after inserting your lenses.has this been going on ever since you began wearing these contacts?what type of lenses do you wear?are they disposable?how often are you supposed to change them?how long do you wear them at a time?what kind of cleaning solution or saline do you use?have you changed brands?all these questions come to mind,and any or all of them could be why your eyes are red.if you want to email me,i would be glad to help you figure this problem out!

Sounds like whatever was in your eye may have scratched it. I got a metal sliver in my eye at work once, and they had to "grind" it out. My eye was sore for a week!!
