You should have drawn the line at sexy time, constant bookaki'n is silly.
Lots of good info above - but contact lens wearers get some interesting and different problems, particularly acanthoemeba keratitis and the like. You may still end up needing to see a Hospital Eye service...
Don't put your contacts back in till you have been 100% better for at least 48hrs. If they are non-daily disposables, chuck 'em. If you still have problems in 48 hours from now on the drops you got, do seek help, and do so sooner if the vision gets worse in the meantime. Try reading small print with the affected eye. Other symptoms you should take seriously include a feeling like there is something stuck on your eye, blurring/fogging/haloes around things you see, and pain which appears to be in the eyeball itself.

...as I just found out while reading the [url= http://www.optrex.co.uk/optrex-range/drops/optrex-infected-eye-drops/ ]Optrex leaflet.[/url]
Have binned lenses, monthlies, and will stick to glasses for the mean time.
Probably should have popped in the opticians earlier when I had the chance. Ah well, will have to see what it's like Boxing Day.
Cheers.
I haven't read this whole thread but did anyone tell the op that you can by chloramphenicol over the counter for less than a prescription charge.
Ps most conjunctivitis is viral, self limiting and doesn't even need chloramphenicol.
Bathe in cool boiled water, remove contact lens
No more eye kissing for us Jimmers...let me know when it's cleared up. 🙁

I've only had conjunctivitis once. Spent a full five weeks in ICCU after that.
So I have Guillain-Barré syndrome of the eyeballs?
Worst. Christmas. Ever.
Can I get your bikes if you lose your eyesight?
Have you got pins and needles in your eyeballs yet? 🙂
