Swollen Cornea....

I just went to the doctor and am totally freaked out.  They said my cornea was swollen and I had almost like little water bubbles blurring my vision.  My doc said most likely because of wearing my contacts so much.  She said I could continue to wear the contacts but to make sure I remove them at night before bed (which I never do).  

She wants to see me back in 3 weeks.  Is it likely that I have a serious problem or that the symptoms will be much improved in 3 weeks?

If you have swelling of the cornea most Eye MDs will advise NOT wearing the contacts till swelling is gone then re-evaluating why the swelling developed.
