A member asked:
I have stupidly accidentally slept in my contact lenses overnight. they are daily wear soft contacts. my eyes feel mostly okay but the left one is a bit watery. should i use antibacterial eye drops as a precaution or leave them alone?

Use the drops: If your eye is watery it could mean corneal edema or a small abrasion. It would be safer to use prophylactic antibiotic eye drops for a few days and leave the contact lenses out.

What is the most recommended eye drops for itchy/watery eyes with contacts?
I wear non prescription contacts which irritates my eyes. It causes dryness and somewhat watery eyes. What could this be?
My left eye is extremely blurry. I tried using eye drops to clear any debris, and looked to see if i can see anything. Any idea this happened sometime within the last two hours. I do wear contacts and as i was putting one in it felt abnormally painful.
Do I get more UV damage with wet eyes or dry eyes? I use lubricating eye drops every two hours. I always avoid the sun and bright sunlight after putting in drops, until eyes dry. Should I continue this precaution or is it okay to get sun in wet eyes?
Do I have mild dust allergy? I dont sneeze, just have really mild congestion that comes and goes whenever I stay in my room (always humid). Sometimes one of my eyes gets a bit itchy for a few mins, but not red nor watery. I do have a large turbinate?
