Okay, so one week went by without wearing contacts and my eye was still fairly red. I decided to give it two weeks.

After two weeks my eye wasn’t nearly as red … it almost looked normal, in fact. However, I eventually noticed there was a raised bump-like thing just outside the edge of my iris. The “bump” seemed like it was slightly more noticeable (both visually when looking at my eye and being able to just feel it there with my eyelid) when my eyes were tired or dry.

I was excited to wear my contacts again (I hate wearing glasses) but, by the end of the day, my eye was as red as ever. Sigh.

Enough is enough. I decided to find an opthamalogist to get another opinion about what was causing this redness.
