Did you ever scratch your eye while handling your Purevision contacts? What did you do about it?

I did scratch my eye once, but it wasn't because of the contact, I accidentally did it with my fingernail, don't ask?? LOL. I made an appointment with my eye doctor and he recommended not to wear my contacts until my eye healed. He gave me this anitibacterial get to put in my eye for about a week. I wore my glasses, and it healed in about a week and returned to wear my contacts.

Is your eye okay now, dboo?

yes, my eye is fine now. What my eye doctor told me is that the main thing to remember is if you think you injured your eye at all, even if it doesn't cause that much pain, to go see your doctor because ingoring it could make it a lot worse. Minor injuries always seem to get worse without proper care.

That's probably some good advice, dboo. Thanks for sharing your story.
