Ok, this was a bad day. I planned on going to work but woke up feeling really tired and couldn't focus very well. My right eye was fuzzy and a bit sore. I had a personal appointment in the afternoon so I went to that. Before I left I put on a little mascara for the first time. After about 2 hours my right eye started to itch a little so I put in the last of my BION drops and headed home. While driving it felt like I had something in my eye. By the time I got home the pain was really bad. I put in more drops when I got home and lay down for a while. It got increasingly bad throughout the evening to the point where I couldn't take the pain anymore and I used the tetracaine pain drops. It helped for about 1 minute but the pain got worse and worse. My husband said it looked like I had a hair in my eye so I flushed and flushed my eye with the BION drops. It was really bad. Finally, not being able to take it anymore, I put in the contact lens the doctor had given me for emergencies. Instant relief. I left it in all night. By morning everything felt better but I still haven't taken the lens out. I'm lubricating lots and using the drops as directed. My eyes feel a lot better today. Vision is clear but much fuzzier than usual. Hope it gets better than this! I can see fine but not as clear as I used to see with glasses and my close up reading is atrocious. I've learned to pull things a bit farther away to bring them into focus, It actually works but it makes you feel old.
I don't know if I got a hair in my eye, or it just got dry and sticky and it caused a small tear or possibly I got mascara in my eye. Whatever happened, it hurt a ton and I will be much more careful now. No more eye makeup for a little while I think.
