What to do if i found out today at the eye doctor that i have an inflamed cornea and irritated eye. i wear contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed: Stop wearing the contacts, let the eyes recover (treat if indicated). Re evaluate your contacts fit, type, and how you maintain them. You need to work with your eye specialist to take care of the immediate problem as well as problems that may come in the future from long term contact use.
