Redness and blurry

by Aphram, May 12, 2008 05:17PM
A couple of days ago I woke up and my left eye was really red.  No irritation really but a little bit of moisture in the form of tears every now and then but not really a problem there either.  The next day I decided to remove my contact lens, but the redness continued.  Today I put in a new lens.  Still red, still tearing (a little every few hours), and it kinda feels like there is no lens in it, I mean I can't see well out of that eye.  Its like I'm not wearing a lens at all.

Please advise.

It's as simple as 1-2-3

1. Leave your contacts out.
2. Call tomorrow for an appointment with the eye professional that fit your contacts.
3. Go in to see that person.  If you don't have one go to www.aao.org and find an ophthalmologist near you. DO NOT CONTINUE WEARING the contacts.
