I wear soft lenses and about 2 weeks ago, had a couple of bad days wih them. Since then I have not worn them but eyes been red raw, reallly 'tired' achey and itchy and 'strained' feeling. Doc last week said conjunctivitus and prescribed anit-botic drops. they are no better and my eyes are so sensitive I cannot venture outside in this sun without dark glasses on (over y specs otherwise I cannot see). I have made appointment with optician but can't see him before thursday.

I can barely esee to tye, can'r read, watch tv or anything. Am So fed up and miserale.

Anyone ever had anything similar?
Have neber had hayfever or anythig...

Glad you've got it diagnosed and treatment in hand FMV. Eye related things are always a bit scarey when you have them .

My eyes got quite painfula dn dry for a while , due to contact lense wearing. I now have to really restrict my use of contact wearing.

belgo, that can happen due to 'hormonal' changes, sadly. Each time I had a baby, my tolerance for lenses decreased. i'm now on last chance saloon with them - toric soft lenses at the maximum prescription..

Just spotted this filthy. CAT me if you'd like any advice from DH (consultant eye surgeon) - he hasn't wearied of helping MNetters yet
