I developed a corneal ulcer from wearing Oaysis which cleared up. I still wear them, but limit my use to 12 hours, use Safulon Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaner, which requires soaking for 6 hours, and always air dry and sterilize my case with sterile water. I have not experienced problems since.

Dear Ries07,
I would recommend that you seek care as this may represent overwear syndrome, allergy, dryness, or serious infection.

thank you for your suggestions, it's a scary thing not knowing exactly what is wrong with your eye. Tomorrow I have an appt with an eye doc so I will see from then on whats the problem. Thanks
Stop wearing your contact lenses (the Oasys and any other old lenses you might have around). Your symptoms suggest surface irritation of the cornea, perhaps a condition called Punctate Epithelial Keratopathy (PEK). You may need a combination of anti-inflammatory eye drops and lubricating eye drops to return your corneas to a healthy, comfortable state.
Although your symptoms may subside if you simply wait long enough, an Eye-MD (ophthalmologist) can examine you, confirm what is wrong with you, and prescribe eye drops that make you feel better faster.
There have been several postings on the Community Eye Care Forum about corneal problems related to Oasys contacts. Stop wearing this contact! Apparently, a number of people (including me) have developed corneal problems when wearing it. The fact that your eyes are now sensitive to light suggests a corneal condition. Maybe you need to consult a different eye care provider.
