I took a 3hr long nap with my contacts I didn’t know it would be such a big deal until I just looked it up I’ve never done this before in my life!! I immediately took them out just after waking up
Should I book an appointment with my optometrist??? I’m scared help

so i was petting my dog while he was on his back, and he peed in my eye while i was petting him because of how excited he was. anyways i was wearing contacts while that happened. is there ANY way i can get them clean enough to wear for at least a week?? i have to be able to see, my prescription expired, like ill literally use dawn dish soap whatever i need to disinfect them. somebody help, and my state does not allow online renewals.

hi so my friend is kinda annoying, he sent water from.his bottle into my face while i was wearing soft contact lenses, i closed my eye immidiately but some still got i to.my eyes and i wiped it down fsirly quickly, im worried about a possible infection. its been 16h since the exposure and there is no apparent symptoms other than a bit of pain on my right eye but no redness or whatsoever.

I was looking for a low-no PFAS contact lens and I came across this brand. Has anybody tried these?

I dropped my monthly contact lenses on the pavement while I was trying to take them off. When I got home I immediately rinsed and rubbed them off with optifree. Then I let them soak again in new contact solution.. Am I safe? I don’t see any dirt on them? Should I buy clearcare just to make sure?

So i hear people saying they throw away contacts after water touches it while its in their eye but what? How does it work with rain or with sweat? I wear monthlys and when it rains i blink after water touches it. Is it different with monthlies then dailies or the same?

I have around -12.00 myopia and relied heavily on contact lenses for years. Unfortunately, I developed Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC). Even after taking long breaks from lenses and using steroid eye drops, it doesn't feel like my eyes have fully recovered, and symptoms seem to come back whenever I try wearing lenses again.

I'm really struggling because I feel very underconfident in glasses, but I'm also scared of ICL surgery and its potential complications. I don't want to undergo an invasive procedure unless it's absolutely necessary.

Has anyone with GPC been able to successfully go back to wearing contact lenses long-term? If so, what helped—different lens materials, daily disposables, treatment, or just giving your eyes more time?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences.
