So,
Last night due to the handicapped parking BS  I ended up exhausted and mentally fuzzy from lugging my books. My professor gave me a ride home to my friend's house. I crashed not thinking about my contacts since you can sleep in them. Lucky me I scratched my cornea. My eye is killing me.

I just wish I  could catch a break!

Buy a lotto ticket! Maybe you'll win the big one.

That sucks goofy, I'm sure things will get better!

Dunno if it's an option considering your specific circumstances, but a scrip for klonopin really helped me through a string of bad luck at the end of last year.  It's essentially a faster acting, heavier dosage of xanex.  Just pop on when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed and wait 20 minutes and attack the problems with a level head.  Better living through modern pharmacology.

So, get this. I was pretty sure yesterday that my contact was still in my eye. After, seeing an optometrist she said my contact wasn't in my eye that it was the scratched cornea. This morning I was still having pain I already had an appointment at the PCP but not with mine a partner. He said it was inflamed but agreed no contact and wrote a script for steroid eye drops.

This evening I get in front of the PC to do the eye drops and notice my glasses had schmutz on it. I had to take the glasses off to do the eye drops when I did. Guess what was there? A torn contact lense! I'm pi$$ed how can 2 medical "experts" not be able to tell if there is a torn contact in your eye!?!?!?

I have the older "hard" type ones (ok - gas permeable, technically not "hard"). Mine are light blue. Easy to see if one slips.
If soft clear lenses, part of one could probably slip around the eye and not be seen until it slides back out. I can have one of mine slip when putting them in (I'm not coordinated at putting them in) and shove them to the right place. They can get pretty off to the side and hard to see - even when they are blue. Imagine how hard to see part of a soft clear one? The drops probably gave it enough fluid and lubrication to float to the front of the eye. You know - like when you drop a bolt and can't find it until you get another one and the one you lost was right in front of you the whole time?

OK Mary I have to give you advice here as a man. Yes it will be sexist and not add 1 cent to the current situation, so what else is new.

Girl with glasses = hot.
Girl with contacts = WTF, her eyes are pointy.

Forget the contacts, steroid em eyes whatever, and walk away from the stupid looking things. Get glasses that fit your face and well, be hot.

Cool.

Have you tried riding with glasses? Today has been a living hell. Every time I go to pull out I'm scared to death I'm pretty blind and when using peripheral I can't see shiate! Best I can see is that it is a moving object. Can's discern how fast or how big. I've actually gotten quite a few compliments on my specs but for safety sake I want my contacts back!

Mary

Ooo sorry, yea peripheral vision you're gonna need that unless you wanna walk everywhere. Sorry, like I said sexist and wont add squat to the problem ...
Cool.

Cool.
