bloody sand

[iomarti]

well i went out for a surf and had to go back home after about 5minutes as i got a piece of fleshin' sand lodged under my contact lens...

It's really ripped at my eye... absolutely kills. Walked home with a huge swollen eye. Everyone was lookin at me with respect in their faces, i think they must have thought i'd taken a huge beating, but nope, just one bit of sand.

3 hours on, my eye is no better, swollen, sore, red and hurts like mad!

go to bed and sleep it off, your eye will heal itself with rest

[iomarti]

ah yes you are right.

Sweet dreams forum friends

Hows the eye?, i think anyone who can put contact in deserves a medal...

Not a wearer myself, but an ex used to wear them, made me cringe every time i seen her putting them in...hate the thought of touching eyes!!!!,

Went running the other night and got a fly in my eye...watering like a *****..., so really felt for you with sand behind your contact rubbing on your eye...ouch!

You thought of getting them "goggles" for surfing?, thought about it myself as my eyes sting sometimes when been out for some time.

sand scratches in the eye are the worsed every time you blink you feel it, hope it heals fast

[iomarti]

it's much better now, thanks but still sore...!

When I woke up it was still swollen huge. Took my board in for a ding repair this morning, the surfshop guy looked at the ding, then he looked at my eye, and said, 'wow, you really suffered there'...! i just smiled and pretended i was well hard

[iomarti]

and yes i thought about getting goggles, but thought 'no'...

[oldiebeginner]

yeah, i know what you mean about the goggles...

I feel for you, my eye is also swollen today. I dont know the hell hells wrong with mine, been like this since I woke up and only got worse after 4 hours in the water.

[iomarti]

ah man, its wretched isn't it. Mine is better now, they take ages to settle down tho don't they. Take care, bathe it and sleep

Maximum respect for the contact thing. I bought a set of yellow cat eye 'party contacts' to go to a rave with, OH MY GOD. It took me about half an hour to get the bloody things in, then they itched so much I was crying after about 15 mins!

Mind you, on your part, bonus qudos for the beach scene!

You might want to get some eye wash stuff. That should help, as it would help get rid of the sand as well as soothing your eyes.

I wear contacts in the surf..I have never had a problem! Just remember to always keep a bottle of contact fluid close by. If I were you I would have taken my contact out then put it back in...leaving it in scratches your eye and is just silly!

Once though, my brother scratched my cornea in my eye. hurt like fu¢k for a day, then it healed..amazing how fast my eye healed...

Or in due case pour a whole bottle of water in it i bet it would take the sand off at least that's what i would do if i had that problem
