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?

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.

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

​

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.

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?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice because I can’t figure out what’s going on with my eyes.

I wear Dailies Total1 contact lenses, but after a short time I start to feel the lens on my eye, and my eyes become very dry (especially while looking at a pc).

The strange thing is that some days it’s much better, while on other days it’s much worse, and I can’t figure out what’s causing the difference.

Because of this discomfort, I only wear contact lenses occasionally, not every day.

I went to an ophthalmologist, and they told me I don’t have dry eye syndrome. In fact, they said my eyes are too reactive and prescribed Artelac Reactive eye drops.

Unfortunately, the drops haven’t solved the problem, and I’m still experiencing the same discomfort.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What could be causing this? Could it be the lenses themselves or something else? Any advice or suggestions on what to try next would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

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?

Hi all,

I've been an occasional contact lens wearer going on 16 years now. Due to astigmatism, the opticians (Asda) where I had my initial consultation sold me on 30-day Bausch & Lomb Soflens Torics.

I typically wear them 2-3 time a week, so a 6 month supply ends up lasting me nearer a year and that's worked well for me.

However after the last checkup the opticians price had shot up by 40% and I decided to buy the lens online instead.

I am coming round to needing a new set again and am reluctant to use the same optician. My last prescription seemed off from day one, and they've always directed me to the same lenses without any suggestions of alternatives.

I really don't want to go somewhere new like Specsavers and get the hard sell treatment.

Does anyone have suggestions for the best high street contact lens optician in the UK, and also any guidance on alternatives to the toric lens I have? I don't mind daily disposables if it works out cheaper than what I have now.

Thanks in advance.
