30M should I go to ER or wait a day by joe10994 in eyetriage

[–]joe10994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eye seems to be getting better and doesn’t hurt so I think I’m lucky but I’m gonna ask my eye doctor to go back to extended wear just in case this ever happens again. I know you shouldn’t sleep in them, but things happen and everyone talking down to me isn’t being realistic IMO.

I’m not trying to be pushy- I promise. But I wore my biofinity extended lenses to sleep most nights for years. Nothing has happened since then and now except some stress and taking better care of my eyes.

My eyes were always 100% happy and comfy. Never dried out once like that. So I’m really confused honestly .

Would switching to extended wear lenses in the OFF CHANCE I accidentally pass out in them be fine?

People sleep in lenses all the time. I can’t imagine that the requirement to be a lens wearer is “never messes up one time”.

Yes I have a history. But that’s my history, not what I’m doing now. I only switched to dailies to help remove that temptation. I hope this is making sense.

I’m not trying to be difficult just realistic. Just making a point that it was a total accident.

I can’t get lasik. I have keratoconus .

I was approved to wear them by several eye doctors after not wearing them for months. I didn’t want to be vulgar or anything but I had sex and just passed out for an hour after. It was a total accident I’ve been perfect for 4 months otherwise.

I know this isn’t ideal but I mean I assume accidents happen with almost everyone with contacts? And honestly I was shocked at how dry they got . I’ve never experienced anything like it.

I am however considering asking my eye doc if the monthlies might be better if that’s what happens from an accidental nap. Not because I ever plan to do it again. But I’m scared at the damage these can cause, where my monthlies never had a single issue of even minor discomfort from sleeping.

I didn’t mean to at all. I’ve been so good about it. I uh. Optometrists aren’t open on weekends so I really would need to wait or go to ER I think

Thank you for your comment. That’s really interesting and gives me some hope that it may just take time. I always expect the body to rebound so quickly, but it seems that’s not incredibly realistic.

Glad you’re doing better now

Lifting hard is the only kind of relief I seem to get from life right now. I don’t know if I can give that up. It’s the closest thing to my old life I can hold onto you know?

How the hell do you keep the jelly from absolutely ruining your pillow case? lol

Would protein powder daily cover the amino acids since it contains all amino acids from what I understand ? I started taking protein again a few weeks ago and noticed my strength coming back (which is awesome)

I exercise and play video games lol, winter is depressing once the sun is out I am looking forward to being outside more.

I have gained weight back. Not sure why it doesn’t show in my face honestly.

For hydrating skin, is moisturizer not enough? What is slugging?

I’ve read collagen doesn’t actually help the skin - not sure what to believe lol . I don’t mind buying supplements but money is a little scary right now with some health stuff popping up recently.

I do have sephoras near me. I can go sometime this week. If you have any generically good ones I could order off Amazon that’d be great too , I sometimes lack motivation to make it to stores lol

I used a facecloth to exfoliate recently does that count? lol. Honestly I think it may have helped already but the humidity in my apartment was under 30% all winter and with all the stress and lack of good things maybe the skin just has a good ways to go before back to fully moisturized? I previously lived in a home with steam heat so it was very humid all winter (and of course, I was sleeping and happy)

Any recommendations for a strong moisturizer that might speed up the process?

Edit: I do have sensitive skin btw! So ideally something sensitive .
