Good Advice

This is why you should take your contacts out more than once every 10 days. And probably should clean off your eye makeup before bed once in a while, too.


[I have a raging infection in my right eye. I have to put in eye drops every 2 hours for 2 days, then every 4 hours for 5 days. Yikes! And apparently, if it doesn't start clearing up by tomorrow, I have to go see an ophthalmologist. Hardcore. No fun. Trust me.]

Ouch!! That sounds so painful!

I take mine out daily, but I wear them far too long.

Yikes! Poor girl! My hubby also took his out daily, but he'd wear them for about 3 months! (Now he's had RPK surgery.)

Ouch! I am so sorry. I also am guilty of leaving my contacts in too long, sleeping in them, not taking off my makeup (or eye makeup for that matter) and just abusing them. I've been wearing contacts since I was 11 so I sometimes "forget" I have contacts and I know I should be much better about it. Hope they clear up and thanks for the warning......I will be taking mine out tonight!

Wow, that looks like it hurts! I really hope you are feeling better today.

WHAT?!??! I did not know there were people who left them in! My eyes are one of (two of) the things I don't mess around with. I like them too much!

GAH! OHMYGOSH!

Oh man Jen I am so sorry for you! I hope it heals soon. That looks miserable! (and this is not the kind of picture-of-you that I requested in my last post's comment. I was expecting more along the lines of you playing with Corbin and having an enjoyable time. Sorry this is the reality instead!)
