My left eye stings like there's an irritation on it

I would rinse your eye out with some kind of drops to make sure you have not got dust or some kind of hair in your eye this can happen as you know and you have done that right thing by taken them out of your eyes if it still bother you in a day or two I would go to your eye doctor to have it looked at

hi scorpiobabes with something as important as your eyes I do think you should see your optometrist and have your eyes checked as with a scratched cornea they can give you something to heal and ease the itching.

I do hope that this is not going to be serious and that you will be able to recover soon. If the pain still persists after a time of rest, then please do not delay to see a specialist to have it looked at. All the best.

I also wear contacts for a long time now, and yes I would advise for you to give it a break for a couple of days. If the condition still persists, then maybe you should consult an eye doctor ASAP. Our sight is not something that we can just take in stride and take for granted. I hope you'll be okay soon.

Hi! I think you need to consult an eye specialist as soon as possible. I also wear contact lenses when I am out. I had an astigmatism before and the doctor advised me not to wear colored lenses anymore as it causes astigmatism. If the case got worst, it may lead to blindness. Good thing I went for check up as soon as I had an eye irritation after trying to cure it with Eye Mo. I have worn eyeglasses even if I don't want to on my work. The reason I don't want to wear eyeglasses before is that because it frequently have moist (I work in a humid environment).

It is very strange you are alright with the contacts. I feel contacts are very dangerous to the eyes. You'd better go to the doctor as soon as possible because eyes are the most important organ to see the world.

Could be pinkeye? I get it sometimes, and that is how it feels. Polysporin Antibiotic Eye/Ear Drops usually clears it up in a few days without wasting time waiting for a Dr.'s appt. And in your case..paying for a Dr.'s appt. Ours are free here in Canada, but not prescriptions. And a Dr. can often prescribe the same thing that is available on the shelpf without paying for the 'dispensing fee' the pharmacy charges. I started wearing contacts when I was 17 and bought a motorcycle. I NEEDED that peripheral vision that was missing wearing glasses.....to prevent being run down by the cars that gave no respect to 'bikes'. If you do suspect pinkeye, then make sure to put a few drops of the antibiotic drops in your contact case, as well, for a few days while being soaked, and rinse them daily putting new solution in, until you begin wearing them again. I would take a few days off wearing them...IF you can. If not, only wear them when absolutely necessary (driving?), putting them in the case to soak whilst adding a couple of drops of the antibiotic in it daily as well as using it in your eyes. It should clear up soon. If not, maybe you did scratch your eye. That does tend to take awhile to heal and irritates quite a bit. DON'T SCRATCH!!!! as it makes it worse. I know it is hard, but do your best, hon. *HUGS*
