Does it do any harm to your eyes to put contact solution in them rather than eyedrops?

Contact lenses offer no protection against chemicals--in fact it is more dangerous to wear them than not.  If there are lots of chemical vapors in the air, they will end up accumulating underneath the lens (gas permeable lenses are slightly better, but I still wouldn't wear them in a chem lab).  Furthermore, if you get something in your eye and you need to wash it out, the contact lens will prevent effective cleaning.

They have protein deposits on them from your tears so they are less effective to correct your sight.  Non-disposable contact lenses need to be soaked in a very nasty enzyme solution at least once a week to get rid of the protein deposits.

my sister had a similar problem a while back. it turned out to not be pink eye. it was an allergic reaction to the solution and contacts she was using. i would suggest calling your eye doctor and re-evaulating your choice in lenses.

if you have been rubbing your eyes, almost any drop will make them burn when you put it in.  They all really consist of the same ingredients so put it in, squeeze something tight during the burn and then go about your day.  Try putting the drops in as soon as they start to bother you and the burn may be less.

The fit of your contacts will determine if your contact lenses fall out or not. More likely than not, they should fall out if you open your eyes completely underwater. If you have the "breathable", soft or disposable lenses, its not really a good idea to open your eyes with contacts on in chlorinated water. The lenses will absorb the minerals/chlorine in the water and it will be stuck in your lenses. Although, small traces of chlorine are not harmful to the eyes, extended periods will irritate or dry out your eyes.

I live in Alaska but do not use contacts as my eyes are to dry.  You should not have any problems with your contacts, but I would still see what the manufacture says and what your Op. has to offer on the subject.  Good Luck with your new job, dress warmly and buy good expensive socks or ware a light nylon sock with a heavy pile sock oven the lighter nylon...  Good Luck..

Actually it's not good for you as excessive rubbing with too much pressure can cause your eyeball to change it's shape resulting in vision problems (even just a slight change in the shape can cause this).  Why do some people's brains make drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes feel good?  Not real sure there is an answer for that.  My guess, because we as human beings naturally tend to like things that aren't all that good for us.  Especially when we know it isn't good for us.  LOL.  Or it could be that rubbing them causes your eyes to produce more tears thus clearing debris (bacteria, dirt, etc) that is irritating the eye out of the eye.  Just a guess.\nOh and your eyes have a natural defense against most bacteria/fungi that would get into your eyes (tears, which are used to flush these things as well as others from your eyes.  If I"m not mistaken your tears are slightly acidic which kills a lot of organisms that would get into your eyes.  I might be wrong on that though, they might be slightly basic.  Whatever, the pH level of your tears has something to do with it)  That said, it is a good idea to wash your hands before touching your eyes or any other part of your face.

I believe you are asking if hard contact lenses can improve your vision beyond when they are in your eyes as opposed to if they work for vision correction.  Nothing can permanently correct your vision other than surgery.  While theoretically hard contacts can push on your eye enough to change its shape and therefore theoretically change vision, once you remove them, the eye will assume its normal shape pretty quickly.  But, it's probably not a good idea to push on ones eyeball, which is why those hard contact lenses are so rarely used these days.

its temporary\nbut if you wore goggles it could be avoided possibly\n\nNO do not put eye drops in, because there are chemicals in the eye drops and you don't want to mix those chemicals with the chemicals already in your eyes, it could be dangerous for your eyes

One of the problems with contact lenses is that they can interfere with the oxygen the eye's lens receives from the air (no blood vessels in the lens).  Rabbits have been used for many years to test the effects of new products for irritation in case they get into the human eye.  Humans would have to provide knowledgeale consent to allow chemical eye test (or to check new contact lenses).  Rabbits perform the task without consent, right?

If you're looking to buy them without a prescription, you should know that ill-fitting contacts can lead to serious eye problems.  Contacts are medical devices that need to be fit specifically to your eyes (they aren't a one-size-fits-all kind of thing).  Even if you don't need a prescription to help you see better, you do need a prescription for the lens itself.  Your best bet is to make an appointment with your eye doctor.

If you dont use goggles .. then the daily contacts is the only thing you should use in the water.. especially in pool water, because contact absorb chlorine and can damage your eye.. \n\nAs long as you use dailies and dont really open your eyes too much under water.. youll be fine\n\nI swam for a long time with goggles and contacts and had no problem

if the eye drops are not made especially for contacts,that could be a problem. you should go without them all you can, to allow oxygen to get into your eyes.buy glasses for the weekends,and give your eyes a  break...try this... buy one bar of cediphil soap,and use  it untill the bar is gone. this soap is dr. recomended. by the time you use it up, and wiyhout using your old brand,or letting anyone else even touch your bar of soap,use on entire body. the best way to keep a check on your progress,is to just watch your hands. you will see your hands start almost emediatly, looking younger and smother. this is probably the last kind of answer you were looking for, but for just under four dollars ,you can find out. i hope this works for you.even if this don't  stop your itching,i'll bet you stay with the soap.{one more} , and then i'll go.everyone in the household should have  his or her private bar of soap.never share!   hope this helps!

Try some eye drops you can buy at the store. If you are using contacts they might be dirty.

depends on which you buy. if you buy daily contact lens  then change daily before sleep. NEVER wear contact lens to sleep regardless of the type of contact lens. if buy monthly contact lens then wear daily  till 1 month is up then discard. always have the contact lens lotion also. it is very important for those montlhy contact lens. wash with the contact len's  lotion for contact lens.

How long have you been wearing your current lenses?  Have you been disinfecting them properly (as your doctor instructed you)?  Are you using a different brand of contact lens solution?  Sometimes you can develop a sensitivity to a solution after you've used it for an extended period of time.  Consult an eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist) you trust for more specific answers to your questions.
