What can possibly be a contact lens like transparent skin over the eye?

[Sukiba]

I have a problem that doctors don't want to help me with, they don't even look in the eye or test it. They just say I have my eyes dry and send me to buy over the counter drops. They don't even let me finish talking, its incredible and I feel its a disrespect. So here is the problem, when I get an allergy some sort of circular transparent skins becomes visible. Its always there, I've managed to see it without allergy, but it becomes very visible when I have allergy because without allergy is highly transparent. It looks like a contact lens, in fact I would say its a contact lens if it wouldn't become whitish and wrinkled when I have allergy.

I was diagnosed with myopia and use glasses, but it's not very much. This unknown transparent skin is annoying and one day I was in the bathroom and moved it to the white side of the eye out of the pupil range. It was incredible, but I could see normally again. I told my mother and showed her the skin that looks like a contact lens and asked her if I could remove it permanently since its a little glued, but with a good pull it would come out. She told me not to because we don't know what is that and I could lose my sight if that is something important. I told her that that is the thing that caused my eye to itch more and become extremely red when I had allergy, but she insisted not to.

The point is that the transparent skin that looks like a contact lens is annoying me a lot and I confirmed that it was that thing that was causing me my so diagnosed myopia since I could see clearly with it out of the way. So I wanted to ask, does anyone know of something like that? Does anyone know what is it? Can I take it out myself?

I agree - do not mess with it - your eyesight is a precious gift and you certainly don't wnat to do anything that could take that gift away.

Whenever you do decide to see another doctor, I'd suggest seeing an opthamologist rather than an optician or optometrist.  An opthamologist is a medical eye doctor, meaning they have more schooling than other types of eye doctors and they can also do eye surgery and prescribe medications.  I feel their additional education and experience might give you a better result in finding out what exactly is going on with your eyes.

Best of luck.

You are welcome.  Sorry to hear about doctors who are bad listeners.  I have been to some of them as well!  I guess they are everywhere!

I forgot, thanks.

Suppose I'll have to do that after all then. I'll wait till summer since I'm over 18, but still not 21 so I depend on my mother to go to a doctor and I'm studying right now. However, this time I'll be more intelligent, this time I will write the problem and print it. That way I'll indirectly force the doctor to read it completely. I'm tired of them diagnosing before one even finishes talking.

I would agree with your mother.  You don't want to do something that could permanently damage your eye.  You could have a disease of the eye that could be completely treatable or correctable. Find a new eye doctor, ask for a full eye exam, and explain exactly what you have said here.
