A member asked:
I slept in colored contacts. my eyes burned & watered really bad. i couldn't open my eyes for awhile. now my vision is horrible. will my vision come b?

Probably keratitis: People who wear contacts are at higher risk of inflammatory and infectious keratitis. Your description sounds typical of patients i've seen with keratitis. I would recommend seeing an ophthalmologist asap. I would definitely stay out of your contacts until being seen.
