Do you ever sneeze so hard that your contacts slide around

[Lex]

on your eyeballs a bit and you have to blink several times to get them right again?


Or is that just me?

[tjwmason]

1. Yes.

I tend to close my eyes, and rub very gently on the eyelids - that usually makes them right themselves.

[Lex]

4. Oh good.

My co-workers thought I was crazy trying to see after I sneezed.


AHHHH--CHOOOO!!! *blink* *blink* *blink* *blink*

[LostinVA]

12. Yes!

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Is your contacts Rx recent?

Or do you have dry eyes?

Mine only slip around like that when my Rx needs an adjustment.

[Lex]

3. Dry eyes, yes.

My Rx is relatively new.

Thanks! :hi:

5. Well if you had sneezed and farted it could have killed you.

So be glad.

6. I sneezed so hard once that I ruptured a Lumbar Disk

[Lex]

8. Ouch.

Damn, that harsh.

Hope you're ok now.

[Touchdown]

7. Try sneezing under the laser beam.

getting your eyes fixed. :yoiks:

It didn't happen, but you gave me a thought.:scared:

[gizmo1979]

9. I sneeze so hard I see

stars.:crazy:

10. I tried to hold in a sneeze once.

My shoes flew right off the ends of my feet. And hit the TV.

I hate it when that happens.

[Lex]

11. LOL!

:rofl:

13. I wish I could wear contacts

they bother my eyes so much I am relegated to wearing glasses. And NOBODY is coming near my eyes with a laser.

[Kali]

18. have you tried?

I love them - not because of vanity, but because glasses are always falling off, getting scratched, dirty, lost etc. Extended wear disposables - don't have to touch them for a month, the only "equipment" is saline and maybe rewetting drops - which ARE kind of pricy but last a long time.

[KitchenWitch]

20. I have tried almost every kind of contact available

I have a relatively strong prescription, plus I have year round allergies...my eyes get really irritated.

[Kali]

22. Bummer - I have fall allergies and tend not to wear them then, myself

This year I tried the store brand of claritin and I was pretty impressed, what do you use?

I used to use only prescription stuff, then I got into an allergy study and found out that if I would just stick with the OTC stuff, the INTENSE sleepiness would diminish - before I would try one and pass out for a whole day and then just say forget it. So for the last few years I would give up a couple days at the beginning of the season and that would work pretty well, plus this wierd spray - Nasalchrom - not sure how it works but it does, for nasal symptoms. Anyway got into another medical study (no insurance - its a easy way to get fre checkups plus meds and a little cash too) and they said no older versions of antihistimines. The claritin was on the list of stuff ok to use so I tried it. Very happy with it - even at Safeway prices it was almost a buck a tab, but they REALLY do work for 24 hours and no side effects that I could tell.

[KitchenWitch]

23. I have been on claritin for years

I also use Patanol eye drops.

[Pithlet]

14. Have you ever had your contact fold in half

and jam itself way up where you could no longer see it? That happened to me a few times when I rubbed my eyes too hard when they were dry. I was a contact lense newbie. The first time it happened I was scared I wouldn't be able to get it out. I learned to just close my eyes and roll them up and down real fast to work it back down. Ouch.

[Lex]

19. Yes. That is ouchy!

Once I thought I had lost a contact in my eyelid somewhere and looked all around my eye but never found it up there anywhere.

Turns out it had fallen in the sink. Duh.

[Left Is Write]

15. No, but I've nearly sneezed my glasses off!

[Lex]

16. After putting your glasses back into place . . .

did you look around to see who might've seen that?

:silly:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

17. Did you ever sneeze so hard you blew out your tampon?

[calico1]

21. I don't remember them moving around but

as another poster mentioned, I have had them fold up and go way up into the top area of my eye and I can't find it for a looong time. I hate that!

My older sister used hard lenses for as long as they were available. She has hay fever and could really sneeze hard. When she did she would often send a lens flying across the room. And sometimes she wouldn't be able to find it for days. The good thing about hard lenses is she could find it one week later and it would still be good.

[Jamastiene]

24. LOL.

I'm sorry. :rofl: I can't help it. I know that must be painful, but if it isn't happening to you, the image of it is hilarious. Ever thought about working that into a comedy routine?

[Lex]

25. I should be a writer for a sit-com

maybe?

:hi:
