Freaky lens incident

Postby Loopy-Lou » Fri 30 Oct 2009 7:48 pm

My RGP moved off centre right over into the corner of my eye [the outer corner away from my nose] so that I couldn't see it but it damn well hurt. I could not get it out with the suction pad so had to run across the road to the GP and get them to get it out. It really panicked me because it's very uncomfortable, those edges really dig in, then I was worrying about abrasions because I've only useable vision in the one eye so I know trying to pull it across is a bad idea but it was just immovable, then it hurts to press the suction pad against it, argh :shock:

So basically I need chocolate to recover from the shock..
