HI all, So today i was being all festive with my friends in winter wonderland when a huge gust of window got some dust in my eyes, it was unbearable so I removed them, in the process my right contact got stuck just below my eye and when i tried too grab it, it feel and the rest is history. I do plan...

Hey, update time agian. So I went back to moorefield on the 29th of October, they poped my old lens back into my left eye and it just wouldnt stay in, it kept falling out and after 20mins we tired a different shape which was much better. I don't remember it every being so bad so it might mean my lef...

Its the work toilet so they dont really have anything to block it, I had a towel on the side of the sink but the lens manage to bounce just about enough to get to the sink, I guess it happens. Been having trouble getting through to the contact lens deparmet but I will keep trying.

Thanks for all the advice, I go to moorefield eye hospital right now. And just my luck, my lens moved to the button of my eye and I went to the bathroom to try and re-position it, but it ended up falling down the drain . I will phone up moorfield now and see what they say.

Thanks alot

Hi all, since my original post I have went through my GP to Moorefield, I have had a few tests and finally got my rgp contact lenses 2 weeks ago. I must say at first it was a real struggle, I found putting them on to be very easy surprisingly, however after that it was a world of pain, after a few d...

Hey Tehmoe, welcome to the forum. In your place I'd ask for a referral to a good hospital ophthalmology clinic. They will look at your eyes, and probably refer you to an in-house contact lens clinic. There you will meet opticians who are very experienced at fitting the right lens to eyes with kerat...
