A member asked:
My contact lens keeps getting stuck to my left eye. i've tried new contacts and they keep getting stuck. what's wrong with my eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness, allergy: The most common causes of contact lenses getting stuck to the eye are dryness and allergy, especially when the patient sleeps in the contacts.Some contacts can be the wrong curvature for a patient's eye, causing an increased risk of sticking. An examining eye specialist might recommend wetting drops, allergy drops, systemic allergy meds, a different curvature of contact lens, or going without.
