Did you throw out your contacts? Start with a fresh pair of contacts and switch to clear care or other peroxide based lens cleaning solution once your eyes are feeling better again. Many problems with contact lens wear can be attributed to solution sensitivity. You may also consider switching to daily lenses.
I stop wearing them since 6/8 is this due to dry eyes or this something serious going on? I'm going to see an ophthalmologist this coming Friday I've been seeing him yearly for my retinal schisis problem I hope he can help me I'm deeply worried about my situation right now. Shld I stop using the fml drops now I only use it once a day. Thanks dr.
Both Zylet and FML contain steroids and are not for long term use and when used in conjuction with contact lens increase the risk of a corneal ulcer. The most common reason by far is that you have lost contact lens tolerance. The fact that you could wear contacts when younger doesn't mean that will last forever especially after age 40. The % of people that can wear contacts decreases with age. 20% of our refractive surgery patients (LASIK< PRK< SMILE) were happy with their contacts but lost the ability to wear them without redness, irritation and discomfort. Stop wearing them and see an ophthalmologist before you get a serious corneal ulcer.
