Eeeeh !! So in general, I wear my contacts every dayyyy from seven in the morning until around twelve~two ish at night. Errr, I usually never had any problems, except the occasional dryness. But nowwwww I've been getting these red spots on my eyes and it feels like my eyes are stinging sometimes! Eaksdfjlsd! I try to re-wash them and then put 'em back on..but it still hurts -__-; I know the obvious answer is to take a break from them and wear my glasses for awhile..but I really don't want to Can anyone tell me what I can do to make my stupid eyes feel better?

wear contacts outside and glasses at home

thats what most people do

err.....do u mean 7am to 12-2AM!? if you do....im sorry, but that is incredibly stupid. more than 12 hrs will cause serious damage to your eyes and chance of infection/blindness/other.....you are starving your eyes of oxygen and if u dont let them breathe....then prepare to face the consequences.

wear contacts outside, glasses at home if you're self concious. but any more 12 hrs and well...you're asking for the damagte you get.

Aha..yeah, that would probably be smarter.................But contacts feel so much more comfortable than glasses for me :T
And then when I wear contacts, it makes this mark on the bridge of my nose that seriously DOES NOT go away ....

[x`aNNiie.]

Your wearing them for too long, try wearing
them for maximum 8 hours, and glasses when you take them out.
Your eyes won't be able to breathe if you wear them for that long.

It might be the contacts as well.
Is it happening in both eyes?

Have you gone to the optometrist about this? My eyes used to sting like CRAZY a few years ago, random stabbing pains like something was poking my eye. It wouldn't go away after I washed my contacts too. My optometrist said it's because of my allergies. So he gave me some medicated eye drops to use.. and my eyes are kinda dry anyway. haha. I wear my contacts for 12+ hours too. I know I shouldn't, but glasses aren't comfortable.

I've been wearing contacts on extended periods of time since forever... my eyes are fine. Throw this pair out and put on a new pair. It might seem like a waste, but it's cheaper then going blind!

And also, when you take them out before you sleep and soak them, how long do you leave it in the solution for? Sometimes, if it's soaked for less than 6 hours and you put them on, it does sting....

If all else fails, have you checked if the contacts are flipped inside out? This happened to me one time and my eye hurt like hell. I had no idea I wore it inside out too.....

I think you're wearing them for too long o_o
A maximum of 8 hours wearing contacts should be it... they need air..
Try wearing your glasses when it's late at night instead of wearing your contacts...
you'll get used to them eventually

um, do u mean ur glasses mark the bridge of your nose? not contacts? go to your optometrist and get them to fix them. the nose pads could be too narrow [i.e squeeze your nose], your lenses could be too heavy [i.e opt for a thinner/lighter lens]...

it is never good to wear your contacts for long extended periods of time. i repeat....be prepared to face bad consequences later if you're really stubborn abt this.

yeah you shouldn't be having your contacts on for too long, give your eyes a rest. just wear glasses when you're at home, its not too much of a fuss. you can always get a new pair if they're not comfortable

[chrissatinee]

you're wearing them too long.
for me, i sometimes wear it the max is 10hrs. even though it's not good already, and if it passes that time, my eyes starts stinging cause it's all dryed up and your eyes need to breathe.
but why do you need to wear it for THAT long? 7AM - 12 AM?

[PDURRR]

try getting looser glasses?
i only get those imprints cause my glasses are kinda tight

so i wear the ones i sat on like 3 times..
i can't stand wearing contacts for more than 6 hours...
and the longer you wear them the worse your vision gets..suffocates the eyes... well unless they're hard contacts

No, the obvious answer is to go to your optometrist right away, besides wearing only your glasses now. Forget about putting in another pair because you're only going to irritate your eyes even further. I know an office visit is not free, but it's a small price to pay in the long run.

I know everyone has said this before, but you're wearing your contacts for way too long. And even if other people have no problems wearing them for long periods of time, it doesn't mean that you won't. You're depriving your eyes of oxygen, and I'm sorry to say this, but what you're doing is really stupid. From 7 am to 12.....that doesn't even leave 6 hours for the contacts to be cleaned properly. There will always be a risk of going blind whenever you're wearing contacts, even if you're following instructions properly, so don't think that you're safe with the way you're handling your eyes.

I cannot stress this enough, but you need to immediately take those contacts out, use your glasses, and make an appointment to go see your optometrist right away. And while you're there, have the people there adjust your glasses so they're not so tight anymore.

You might think this is only a trivial matter, but honestly, it's your eyes. You only get one natural pair. It's not worth fooling around with. Good luck.

My cousin used to wear her contacts for 12+ continuously for about 10 years. It messed up her eyes and she can't wear contacts anymore.

exactly. why don't you just wear glasses when you're at home?
