What should i do if my eyes are irritated from sleeping with my contacts on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contacts: First, take contacts off & soak in sterile lens solution if they are not disposable. Then, wash your eyes with sterile solution for eye irritation. Try glasses instead of contacts, until eyes heal. If not, consult an eye doc.
