I'll Make You Cringe

[the joint]

Dude, just go to the ER and get it out. You really don't want to look back (pun intended) years later and wonder why you didn't take care of it before it became a problem.

I'm considering it, but, as I said, the timing is absolutely horrible.  I graduated from grad school a week ago and so my health insurance coverage was terminated on Monday at 12:01 a.m. because Monday was the beginning of the summer semester.  I can't afford a trip to the ER yet because realistically it's still going to be another 1-2 months before I can get settled into a career position.  So, I'm in a bit of a bind at the moment.

Ummm,  why are you not going to an optomatrist ?

They have probably saw this more than a doctor..


Lets use a little common sense people..

Get the fucking thing out.. the longer its in there the more chance its making a home, and fung shuai'ing your eye hole..

I have an appointment tomorrow with the eye clinic.  Hopefully they'll be able to take care of it.

I didnt know it was possible to have something in your eye for so long without hurting it.. Guess what, I was thinking about changing glasses for lenses (also for sports - martial arts and motorcycling) but now I think I will pass on it, my vision without glasses is sorta acceptable (or acceptable enough not to risk with lenses; why do they unhook/disengage off the eye?)

I got LASIK and it's great - now I have perfect vision. Think of it this way... After your ordeal is over, cutting open your eyeball and shooting it with lasers won't seem so scary.

I've had this, eventually after blinking, flushing with solution and moving my eye around enough it came out. I assume you have been doing this. I have also had phantom contact sensation, sometimes a small injury may feel as if something is in your eye as deego said. It sounds like yours was real though. What was the actual solution?

As it turns out, I probably got the contact out initially while I was flushing it the first day.  However, at the eye clinic they said they found an eyelash that got stuck way back behind my eye, and so they removed it.  Apparently I managed to substitute the contact for an eyelash and that's what kept irritating my eye.  So, it wasn't exactly phantom contact sensation...it was an eyelash that I thought was my contact.
