Recently, I've been undergoing a, now I realize, really bad habit of sleeping with my contact lenses in. At first, it just seemed harmless to not take them out and it was tedious to take them out and put them back in in the morning. Well, after having had done this for so long, now whenever I DO decide to take out my contacts, it hurts to blink. I don't just mean mild "oh dang, wasn't expecting that" pain. I am referring to "Oh god. Put it back in, put it back in, put it back in" pain. To the point where wearing glasses becomes practically unbearable. I've tried everything from plucking eyelashes, rubbing my eye, keeping it open, keeping it closed, and just straight-up toughing it out. It doesn't end. My only relief if putting my contact lenses back in. Not only the pain without my contacts, but my eyes are starting to get heavily bloodshot. My left eye especially. I think I should take note that I have an astigmatism. I'm not sure if it's in one eye or both, but it's there.
