I've been wearing contacts for about two years. Then at the beginning of May my eye was red for about two weeks. There wasn't any pain, discharge or blurred vision. I went to the opticians about it and they said it was dry and inflamed, so they told me to get some dry eyes drops and they would send a letter to the hospital.
A week later after use of the drops 3 times a day and a lot of fuss about the letter to the hospital that never came, we went to the eye infirmary who gave us some ointment to use four times a day for a week, then to not wear my contacts for another week then put them back in (so all in all my contacts will have been out for three weeks).
The opticans rang us up and asked how my eye was, so we told them, and they said I should get a contact lens check to make sure my eye is definitely okay before putting the contacts back in.
My eye has cleared up fine now, but I want to know if you know what might have been wrong with it? And will it happen again if my contacts go back in? Will I need a new type of contacts, or a new solution?
