So I went to the eye doctor today. I had put on my lenses this morning and low and behold it slipped to the corner closest to my eye. I tried to "blink" it out for a good 15 minutes, with no success. I asked Mahal to try and take it out, still couldn't do it. Finally got to the doctor's and thankfully they called me in as soon as I got there. The tech gloved up, put some anesthesia drops in my left eye and 'plucked it out'. His mistake, however, was instructing me to put them back on "so the doctor can see how they fit". Anyways, more lines to read, more bright light... in the end, the doctor told me not to wear the contacts for now and let the eye heal. He will talk to the lab and see if they can make some lenses that are not as thick as these ones and we'll go from there. He also adjusted the grade of the right lens so hopefully, if I do get new ones, I will be able to see better.
In the meantime, he gave me a plunger... really, literally a small plunger to suction out the lens if it ever slips off to the corners of my eye again (it has done so every day this week). Anyways, we'll see what the oculoplastics will say when I see him next month. It could be that my eyeballs are just bulging out more, and this combined with my high grade, makes my eyelids 'catch' the lens when I blink, causing it to move a bit. I'm just glad the eye doctor has not given up yet... we'll see what happens... it may be that I cannot wear contacts anymore :-( in the meantime, I hope my corneas heal soon.. it really hurts alot...
