Bill came home from work last night and told me that my eye was really, really red. I checked in the mirror and darn it, he was right. Now, up till this point, my eye wasn’t bothering me at all. I popped out my contacts, and within five minutes, my eye started hurting. I am so glad I have a spare set of glasses. I was hoping that it would be gone by this morning. Unfortunately, it is not and hurts even worse! Thank goodness it is only about a block to get to the eye doctor from my house (we can literally walk there). Otherwise, I might have to look into upping my car insurance. The only bad thing is that they can’t get me in till 7 pm CST tonight! I’ll just have to suck it up till then. I am hoping it is not pink eye, but I have no idea what else it could be. At this point, I’d love to just rip my eyeball out. Any takers? 
eek! i hope it’s something simple that can be fixed painlessly.

You know how they saying goes, “if thine eye offends thee, pluck it out”.

I used to wear contacts and the last time I had similar symptoms it was because of a tiny scratch on my eye. Its quite painful and starts to go away after you use the drops they prescribe. Best of luck and I hope your feeling better soon!

I had exactly the same thing as Majik – it was caused by a tiny tiny piece of wood that was still under my eyelid when the doctor examined me. Obviously I was saving it!
Good luck!

I’ve never worn contact but I know how people who wear them often get very irritated eyes. I hope it’s nothing seriously wrong with your eyes.

There is nothing worse than having an irriated eye! I got some sand stuck in my eye the other day, and it’s just a mess. Yikes!
