Krisboats Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Managed to scratch my eye on saturday and didn't have glasses with me so i had to keep my contact lens in most of yesterday. Its all red and really sensitive to light. got 15 minutes before specsavers open, anyone else done this... whats the usual healing time? internet says 1-3 days usually It alsp says i need to see an opthalmologist to have the severity of my scratch determined and that i'd need anastheasal eye drops and antibiotics to relieve eye pain and sensitivity.I've got 4 days of work in london and i leave this lunchtime.

JT! Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I scratched both mine, if your eyes are just sore, but u can still open them, than it can't be that bad, becuase mine weren't that bad and i could bearly open mine.1-3 days is about right, you definatly don't want to be sticking contacts in your eyes untill it's 100% healed. Obviously don't put the old lenses back in, i'd wear your glasses for a week just to be sure.I had to put some cream on my eyes for a few days which wasn't a big deal.How'd you do it? Sleep with your lenses in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 i've scratched my eye before, I washed it a shiteload to get as much stuff out as possible, and i gritted my teeth and went about life. It seemed to settle down after about 4 hours.If its bad, see an eye doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Just got back from the walk in centre, no debris in the eye and if there was a scratch its now healed. Just the side effects i have to put up with for a day or two apparantly. Got some chloramphenical eye solution and i'm to wear my glasses until at least 2 days after my eyes better. Apparantly the astounding pain from bright lights will fade, so i'm gonna try and sleep for the entire trip to london today and miss out on the sunshine.I do sleep with my contact lenses in JT, got the 30 day ones and they're great... although i didn't scratch my eye till around halfway through saturday so i guess i just got something in my eye somehow.

JT! Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 How much do they cost?I love taking mine out on a night, it's like taking your shoes off at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 How much do they cost?I love taking mine out on a night, it's like taking your shoes off at the end of the day.Its £15 a pair, but like i said, they last 4-5 weeks before they start giving you that tired, dry kinda feeling in the evenings. For the first 3 weeks of wearing a clean pair you NEVER get that tired feeling, never have to fiddle with taking them in and out so less chance of getting dirt in them etc. and its so good waking up and just being able to see. They are a hell of a lot comfier to wear than the daily ones. Specsavers'll give you a free pair as a trial if you want too.i know what you mean about it being nice to take them out at the end of the day, with the dailies they'd get tired/dry and i'd have to blink more and they'd be very annoying. These don't get that, and the feeling of not having to do anything with your eyes at all is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 A frayed brake cable flicked into my eye in 2001. It scratched it good. It's still sore now if i rub my eyelid. Feels like grit when i rub it 7 years on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
