what should i do if i wear contacts and my eye is really itchy and i am afraid to drip eye drops?

Question

please hurry

Answer 1

Put the drops on your contacts before putting them on your eyes. That way the solution will come in contact with your eyes and heal them.

Answer 2

First, remove the contacts. Rinse them in the sterile solution. Clean and sterilize the storage area for the contacts to avoid re-contamination, if any.

Put some cold compresses over your eyes. Keep the contacts off and rest your eyes.

You may have nothing more than an irritant in your eyes. You may have an allergy. You may have dust in your eyes. You may have a minor scratch on the natural eye lens. Your contacts may be contaminated and require sterilization (the sterile solution may NOT be sterile but also contaminated if you touched the tip of the little plastic bottle/jar to the lens; throw it out and get another one).

Afraid to drip eye drops? Silly. Lean over, tilt your head so that the end of the eye nearest the bridge of your nose is is lower than the other side, drop a few drops of eye drops on the far side of the edge of the eye and let it drip into the eye. Do the same with the other eye. This will "wash" across the eye easier.

If you continue to have discomfort with your contacts, PLEASE see your ophthalmologist as soon as possible! Your eyes... the only ones you'll get in this lifetime, don't take chances with them. You have no idea the risks you're taking!

Answer 3

why are you afraid of drops? Maybe it helps if someone else puts the drops in your eyes. You may have allergies or an infection in either case you need to let your eyes rest form the contacts or you can have some serious damage to your eyes long term. If an infection, you will have to throw away those contacts and get new ones when and start wearing them only after your eyes are 100% healthy.

Answer 4

If your eyes are itchy, do not wear contacts..and most important DO NOT use the contact solution as eye drops. This will only irritate you eye more. I would advice you to go to an optometrist and have a check up, that's the only way to know for sure that's going on with you eye. It may be as simple as an allergic reaction to the solution you are using..or it can be as complicated as a contact lens related complication..or conjunctivitis.

Answer 5

if ur eyes itch on wearing the lenses it can be due to allergic conjuctivitis or u might have been wearing the same pair for a real long time and it is time to geta new pair or else the lenses develope fine scratches in surfaces nad there may be lodgement of some kind of fungal colonies, but either way see ur ophthalmologists, ur eye needs just1 my of solution so add just little to it n the drop won't drip.

Answer 6

Definitely talk to your opthamaligist. That is
a doctor trained specifically in the eye. An
optometrist is only a person licensed to dispense
glasses and lens.

You only get one pair of eyes. Don't take chances
getting an opinion here. I had three corneal abrasions before I quit wearing soft, because
of dry eye. Now I wear gas perms and love them.

Answer 7

Wear Glasses! just kidding(not really) Take them out if you can clean them give your eyes a rest (give them air) and put them back on again. try sunglasses if you are out so that debris won't get in. Good Luck

Answer 8

have a friend do the drops for you and keep yourself more hydrated (drink more water) so that your eyes don't get so dry.
you can also take them out and hydrate your contacts by hand

Answer 9

Stop being a sissy & use the drops or call your Dr., make an appt and pay them $80 to do it for you.
