your eye is supposed to be one of the quickest healing parts of your body, good to see it isn\'t effecting your .info performance

That Sucks! I fell asleep with my contacts in once and when I took them out the next day my eyes hurt so bad I could hardly stand it! I went to the ER it was so bad... turned out I tore one cornea and scratched the other! I was on antibiotic drops and glasses for 2 MONTHS! It was aweful! We really take our eyes for granted sometimes.
Hope it doesn\'t go on that long for you!

That sux. I know someone that scratched his cornea by getting metal in his eye on two separate occasions and both times it healed really quickly with eye drops so hopefully your eye will heal fast too!

holy cow Giavanna, thats silly. I have slept with my contacts in EVERY night, well basically every night, since I was 14 and have never had an issue. Ive been told its not good and all, but I still do it anyway. I also make 2 week disposables last 2-3 months. . .

Are you crazy?!! You can do major damage to your eyes that way. And it\'s been all over the news lately that there has been an increase in some rare eye fungus in contact lense wears and that your risk of getting it goes up if you a) sleep in your lenses, b) make them last longer than you should, and c) don\'t clean them properly. This fungus can cause cornea scarring and in some cases people even need cornea transplants. They think the increase in this infection may be connected to Baush & Lomb solution so don\'t use that brand!

Hope they never need an MRI. Even a microscopic piece of metal in your eye can pierce your eyeball or even worse pierce your eyeball and brain in an MRI.

I\'ll have to tell him that. I had to get an MRI when I bruised my tailbone and they asked me like 5X if I had any metal in my body \'cause that can be really dangerous. Oh, and that is my complaint to add to the scratched cornea and lung problem. Has anyone ever bruised their tailbone and how long did it take to heal???

Bruised mine trying out snowboarding once. (never tried again, I\'ll stick to two planks) Hurt like holy hell for about 3 weeks.

3 weeks!!! You\'re lucky. I hurt mine in Sept. doing a Denise Austin exercise video and it hurt for a month and then when I moved in November I hurt it again and that lasted 2.5 months until I went to physical therapy,which believe it or not actually helped. Now it is mostly better. I talked to someone who said it took a year to heal and someone else who fell when she was a kid and it still bothers her. What the hell is the point of a tailbone anyway?
