\nSo since I went out this afternoon and got stinging sweat in my eyes I noticed the ocular pressure disappear. Just took a shower and with water in the he eye I could feel some surface moving against the eyeball but it was thinner and smaller in diameter. I think the eye’s already dissolving it. So, in case you ever wondered what if a contact went back there and never came out. The skin around the eye still feels a little taut, we’ll see how that’s doing tomorrow.
Woke up and couldn’t feel the skin taut anymore, poured some water in my eye and there’s something fragile, brittle, and breaking down in there
Man see an eye doctor about this
My logic is
- If this is happening to me, it’s surely happened to other people.
- Some of them surely didn’t go to a doctor.
- If this had progressed to any serious issue, surely you would hear about that as a danger of contacts.
- I haven’t, so \ud83e\udd37
Have you at least consulted Doctor Google?
- ‘Although it’s possible for a contact lens to get stuck to the surface of your eye, the good news is that there’s simply no way it can get lost, or trapped at the back. The anatomy of the eye itself acts as a barrier, which ensures that the lens will always remain on the surface, so you’ll be able to quickly and easily retrieve it.’
- 'Contacts can get stuck under your eyelid, but it’s impossible for them to go behind your eye. Your eyelids connect to your eye forming a barrier that prevents objects from going “behind” it.’
Yes, it’s in the pocket of the eyelid, against the eyeball, all within the ocular cavity behind bone, stuck away from exposure to air.
I’m getting a little weary of this point \u2013 “There’s NO WAY a contact can get trapped 'at the back’, it’s just under the eyelid! Which is where it goes when it rolls around 'to the back’.”
Man, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019re still in a manic period, but this \u201cI\u2019m fine; everyone saying this is bad is wrong\u201d is kind of classic mania behavior and right now it\u2019s putting you in a bad spot. The people who have said this already aren\u2019t lying: you really, actually need to see an eye doctor about this. Please.
My last mania ended days before that contact first wigged, though in fairness that does mean I was pretty much at the highest mood I get where I’m not dealing with or bracing for one.
But no, this was really the effect of the anxiety zeroing. Cause of that I could just calmly walk around with a foreign object in my eye, not freaking out like you guys over the internet and calmly evaluating things.
I’ve worn these really thin Oasys 14-days for 4 years now and their insubstantiality makes them hard to manipulate and this happened once before already; basically I knew that there was no way Acuvue would put a prescription product on the market where such common failure states carried risk of any significant damage, and then keep it there for four years.
And there is some personal experience there \u2013 I’ve seen a good amount of Cold-Eeze product safety testing from a legal perspective doing summer filing for my dad \u2013 but that’s awfully abstract weighed against a foreign object you are always aware of, in your eye, but that’s the thing, without anxiety that’s actually nothing.
I say there’s interesting parallelism with that self-heimlich time because they were both matters of staying calm enough to practically evaluate and address the situation, but the one involved taking prompt action under stress and the solution here was just taking no action over days
The husk of the contact came out of the eye without even noticing yesterday, after basically 4 days all the structure remained papery but all the thick, wet, squishy substance was gone
