Hello
I am a contact lens wearer (female age 22) I normally wear my contacts 15 hours a day but have never had problems before.
I woke up this morning with a very red eye, and it looked like pink eye, however there is no discharge, in fact it's a bit dry. It is also painful. Not like there is something in my eye, but almost like an aching, like a headache in my eye. Behind my eye perhaps. the redness is in my right eye, and the right side of my right eye (the white part) is VERY tender to the touch.. when I close my eyes and touch the outside. It also hurts whenever I look at light...or look around for that matter. i've had to wear sunglasses all day!
Please help. Is this something I need to go in for? Will the Doctor even do anything? I don't have good eye insurance but I do have good health insurace. I saw my school nurse and she said it wasn't pink eye, but wasn't sure what it was.
Thanks!
