More on my eyes

I had the follow-up on my eyes on the 18th; my eye burst into redness again the night before. Between then and now, I only wore my contacts for a few hours on the 18th, and then again on Saturday to a party for about seven hours. Since last Thursday, my eyes have been red on and off, with last Tuesday evening/Wednesday being the reddest.

I called my optometrist on Monday and made an appointment for this morning. We've determined that it's nothing to do with my contacts. My doctor is fairly certain it's not an infection. She says "it looks really irritated." My eye has been really dry on its own, and she thinks that may be the cause.

We're trying a couple different things over the weekend, and I've got another follow-up appointment on Monday.

My goal is to be back into my contacts before my trip to Las Vegas in mid-November. My doctor thinks we can do it. I hope so.
