1. Rest your eye and don't touch it.\n2. When the swelling goes down and you can open it, put in eye drops, close your eyes, and lay on your back, and just relax a while.  It will eventually float back up to the top.\n3. If your eye is as bad as it sounds, though, I would see a doctor as soon as possible--even the emergency room.\n\nFuture reference--when it happens, follow step 2.

This sounds just like something my boyfriend had 2 weeks ago. It was bothering him so bad, so he went to the eye doctor and they told him it was a swollen gland. They told him to keep plenty of heat on it. Hope i helped!

I also wear contacts, soft lense or hard lense can make a difference.  Your eye hurt cause while you sleep your eye are constantly moving.  But your eye stay close so your contacts dont get any oxygen to breath.  So when you went to take the contact out it was probally really dry and sore.  You should make sure that you rinse out your contact really good.  The slimy stuff is just stuff that blinds up from your contact being in there and fighting against germs. Use your drops at night.  And try to give your contacts a break tonight or today.  It will be feeling better in about a day.

If you pull the bottom eyelid down, can you see a little spot? \nMy son suffers with them and so did I as a child. There are many old wives tales of how to rid them, but I found the best thing to do was to let it run it's course.\nSometimes they are only mild and only notice for a couple of days, but others can be very severe and almost close your eye with the swelling.\nThey do go down on thier own, and usually will weep overnight, causing your lids to be stuck together in the morning. The best way to handle this is to boil some water, put it in a glass, allow to cool then gently wipe with clean cotton wool. using a new peice for each wipe until your lid opens.\n\nAs long as you keep your eyes and hands clean and don't keep touching it, it will eventually heal.\n\nThere are some products on the market for eye infections, but I have found they can be very greasy as they have to withstand the water from your eyes, and they make you look like you have been crying. \n\nAvoid eye-makeup until it has completely healed, and if you use an eyeliner inside the lid, throw it away as it may contain germs which will spread the infection.\n\nGood luck!

You need to see your eye Dr. The contacts seem to have a problem or you are fighting an infection. You need an expert. Did you change Dr.'s they aren't all good, you may need another opinion.

Take your contact out and rinse it really well with your solution.  (If your eye still hurts after you take them out, make sure that you really don't have an eyelash in your eye.)  Before you put the contact back in, place it on your finger and take a good look at it to make sure that there isn't something really obvious stuck to it.  You may have to try rinsing it a few times.  If after a few tries, it still hurts, you may want to call your eye doctor.

My mother has this problem.  She didn't know how it happened.  Every night she has to put this ointment in her eye for it.  Been going thru this for over a year now.  I wish you the best and a speedy healing.

I would like to get contacts.  Glasses are a pain, and I don't like they way they look on me.\n\nHope you get your pants!

First what kind of contacts do you wear? Talk to your dr about maybe changing your brand of contacts. They make some that are specifically made for people with dry itchy eyes (I wear them myself; they're made by Acuvue) If you don't want to do that try putting in the eye drops in before your contacts. That might help. I couldn't find any allergy relief eye drops that you can put in with contacts.

Definitely go see your doctor or eye doctor!  Swelling is a sign of inflammation or infection and probably needs to be treated.

I wore contacts from the age of 12 to 28. The best way to do it is hold your eyelid open, LOOK UP while placing the contact in your eye from the lower part of your eye. Once it is in, look forward and close your eye. Even lightly rub the eye to make sure the air has escaped from under the contact before opening your eyes again.\nGood luck, hon. And have fun at prom.

This exact thing happened to my son.  He has eye allergies, and that seems to make him more prone to infections.  He had healthy bacteria (that we all have) get up under his contacts and cause an infection.  I would see an opthomologist, as you will need a prescription for drops.  My son had to stop wearing his contacts for two weeks (one week to put in the drops, and one week to continue healing the eye).  This was after falling asleep in the contacts for 10 minutes in front of the TV on a few nights in a row (he had been real busy and tired that week, and I just let him do it, thinking how short a timeframe it was couldn't do any harm).  I would wake him, make him take out the contacts, and send him on to bed for the night (he normally takes his out daily).  However, it was just enough time for an infection to take hold.  Long story short, don't sleep in your contacts, even for a short period of time.  Don't swim in them, either, ever.  My son uses Elestat drops during change of seasons or any time his allergies act up, as well.  He also vigorously washes his eyelashes twice a day with a washcloth and baby shampoo.  It seems to help the buildup.  No-rub solutions are misleading, too.  You need to rub the contacts and rinse them daily to remove the protein.

could scratch your cornea leading to irritation.  try rinsing it out using some contact lens solution....the kind one stores lenses in
