What to do if i have eye infection due to my contacts what kind of eye drops should i buy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ophthalmologist: Eye infections from contacts are usually ulcerations that can be very serious. You should not self-treat this but should immediately see an ophthalmologist. There are no over the counter eyedrops for this condition. Take out the lens and get help immediately.
