Sore Eye & contact lens question

[Eve]

Hello, I've had a really sore and bloodshot eye since Saturday morning, thought i'd just be irritated and would go away after putting some eyedrops in. Have kept on with the eyedrops and have not put my contacts back in since but it's still sore and red.

Anyone have any ideas?

I also need a new contact lens provider, has anyone used Asda and if so, how do you find the service and comparative prices? I like the fact you can order online but do the packages fit through your letterbox as don't want to traipse up to the sorting office for them as easier to get them in town. Any other recommendations appreciated.

Thank you :)

Ooh maybe that's it then.

Did you treat it with anything or did it just go away of it's own accord?

hi Jenna - i had the same thing a couple of months ago and it turned out to be an eye infection so i had to stop the lenses for a few weeks until it got better. i got those infected eyes eye drops. it got bad because i thought it was just my lenses irritating me so i ignored it for a few weeks!

Thank you both for your answers.

I'm going to try and kill two birds with one stone tomorrow and see if i can get an appointment at an opticians to get a contacts lense check for my prescription, try and sort my lenses and ask them for any advice seeing as they'll be looking in my eyes anyway.

I was worried in case a bit of lense had torn off and got wedged somewhere or something like that or i've scratched my eye. Latter is quite possible as was a little tipsy when taking them out the night before and have quite long nails :(

Hi Jenna, to answer the second part of your question, I always use www.contactlens.co.uk and find them to be a very good service. I wear daily disposables and they are definitely the cheapest service for these lenses

Hiya Jenna, I started about 6 weeks ago with daily disposables and they are fantastic compared to monthly ones. I ordered them from daysoftuv.co.uk. Really affordable! And yes, they do fit through the letterbox!! :)
