RGP under brow bone - anyone else?
Posted: Sun 02 Oct 2011 1:59 pm
This has happened to me twice - I sneezed and the lens shot over my eyeball, turned over and got stuck kinda under the brow bone right in the eye socket.
Absolutely impossible to move so required someone to turn my eyelid inside out and then poke the lens with a cotton bud so it moved to a position I could get it out myself. Has this happened to anyone else?
It's really inconvenient because at least before 5.30 I could dash albeit half blind to a high street optometrist but after that time it means eye hospital which I had to do whilst staying with family and away with family [really inconvenient].
I had thought about the NHS walk-in centres and their ability to do the above but there's no way I could navigate to my nearest without my 'eyes', and the GP surgery although close are not always able to respond to these sorts of things so it means a cab or lift to the eye hospital. I feel such a twat but there's no way I could ever learn how to turn my own eyelid over with one hand and poke the lens with the other and it's immovable in that particular position.
I have noticed recently this lens is less 'tolerant' of far left vision, ok I only really notice it doing one activity [under arm shaving] but it's not liking it to the degree that I don't do it [yay cue underarm grazes! or maybe I'll just be hairy..]
RGP's - it's a love-hate relationship isn' it!!
