Thanks to everyone for the prayers, positive vibes and critters that were swung.

I went back to the hospital today and was told that my eye is on the mend and the ulcer I had is gone.

Today I was told that it was CONTACT LENS RELATED keratitis - they didn't tell me the contact lens part the other day but I suspected it was lens related.

My lens hygiene is very good - they're daily disposables and I always wash my hands before insertion, but I was told that it was just one of those things: a normie will usually weep out any bad stuff whereas the bad stuff sits and festers in a lens wearer's eye.

((Hugs)) Huneypie

Does that mean no more contact lens' for you?  

Glad you're on the mend.  Eyes are nothing to mess with....

No lenses for a month.  I'll hopefully get the all clear to wear them after that.

Glad you are doing better.

How long do you have to wait before you can wear them again?  Is there anything you can do to keep from it happening?

No lenses for a month.  They'll see me again to confirm if I'm allowed to wear them.

Apart from not wearing lenses again there really aren't any lessons I can take away as they think it's a virus like the common cold and that you really can't do much to prevent getting it (other than not wear lenses so the bad stuff doesn't fester).
