Should I be concerned and should j stop using contact lenses?

This is the only blood vessel I've only ever seen pop up on my eye, nothing else. Should I be worried that my contacts are destroying my eyes or is it just something I should be careful with in the future? Sorry for the poor photo, that's the best I could do:( it's on the right hand

Do I have an excuse why I am lazy/depressed?

I had it hard at every phase of my life,to the point im in mor depression. I cant find motivation to work nor go to school and be social. I have always been rejected and an outcast. At age 4 I was sen as a crazy kid who always need therapy and influenced by my schizo dad. Aftr age 4 I lost my mom (due to my dad murdering her) and move in with my grandma who was more strict. She was always verably abusive because I had a lazy eye and was clumsy.
I began going to elentry and became laughing stock due to my height,lazy eye and extra one-eye thick lens glasses(ik funny). I was always caled ******** and choose to ignore, but was hurting inside.y grandma never let me due nor go anywhere due to fear and i became extremly introverted while i ws an alredy outcast. The first year of milddle school I was bullied, haviing demonic encounters and suicidal and seen as crazy bc I always look angry even at church. Id wy through 6th grade I developed a extreme body odor that also made me an outcast and hated. By 7th grade i went through eye surgery and everything was better, but I was the worse dresser in school and was stinky developing low self esteem even more. By high school I was still stank and diagnosed and made fun of for being mentally retarded. This led me further int depression and I reteated to my bed and sleep all day like in middle school. Later,l I went to college(called stank, retarded)and was used by a guy that made college even harder. I feel as if i should get over it and

Why do my eyes water and burn when I lay down?

I do use a computer a lot (I'm a college student), but this issue predates my heavy computer usage. I also know I have dry eyes, but it gets so much worse when I lay down. Normally, my eyes will water intermittently throughout the day (but they don't burn), and my optometrist has tried everything. At this point it's just something I have to learn to deal with. Wearing my contact lenses has helped a bit during the day, but at night I take them out (obviously). Often, I'll be laying in bed, either reading or talking on the phone or doing homework, wearing my glasses, and my eyes will start to water uncontrollably. It gets to the point where I have to use a towel to wipe my eyes, because a tissue would tear with all the liquid. It also burns terribly. It only subsides when I take my glasses off and go to sleep, when my eyes are closed. I don't know what to do about this issue, and my optometrist has been no help. I know it has to be something other than just dry eyes, because it's nothing like the issues I have during the day. And I spend a lot of time on the computer, not just in the evenings, but even if I'm in a dark room sitting in a chair at the computer I don't have this problem. It only happens when I'm laying down.

Is my optician just trying to sell me an extra pair of glasses?

My prescription increased from -1 and -1.50 to -2.25 and -2.50. I was told that I need correction all the time now. I want to get contacts but my optician insists that I have a backup pair of glasses. I don't want to spend the money if I'm going to be wearing lenses all the time. Is she right?

Multifocal contact lenses/glasses?

I am very near sighted, I can read fine print up close and have a very high eye glass/contact lense prescription. When I wear glasses or contact lenses though, i can't read fine print up close anymore, it gets really blurry. Could multifocal or bifocal lenses correct this problem with me having such a high prescription?

I was caught shoplifting at a store in the mall, can I go back?

I don't steal anymore, I want to actually buy something. It's been a little less than a year. They didn't say I was banned, but did take pictures of me and the merchandise. They prosecuted me and I completed the program I was supposed to finish. I look a little different now, a new haircolor and I was wearing colored circle lenses (contacts that make ypur eyes appear larger) when they caught me. Would I be able to atleast shop in other stores? Would they throw me out or send me to jail?

Do my glasses look about right for a prescription of -10?

I told one of my friends that my prescription is -10 but she said my glasses aren't thick enough to be that prescription. I'm pretty sure that I am a -10 in both eyes. Do my lenses look that strong?

I think my contact lens is stuck in my eye?

I tried taking it out a few hours ago but it slipped into my eye and i lost it, i figured it would just pop out but it hasn't. I've tried flushing my eye with saline solution but it hasn't worked and I've tried fishing it out, but it's not working either. What should I do? And is it alright if i sleep with it in or will it cause an eye infection?

Are contact lenses really safe for long term use?

Asked my optometrist if I could switch to contacts (power= -5.25).
After an extended (half an hour long) series of tests on my eyes using some (what looked like) high-tech machines, she okay'd me for contacts, and offered me various choices.

I picked a brown, yearly-disposable pair of lenses (B&L).
She advised monthly disposables are better, but the overall cost increased, hence i asked for the yearly ones.
I am now wearing them, and my sight seems to be great - better than it ever was with spectacles.

But i just did a couple of google searches, and looks like contact lenses can cause permanent (irreversible) changes in your eyes.

Is this true? I went to a qualified optometrist, and she must be aware of this. Then why did she allow me to purchase contacts? Just because I ask for something doesn't mean the doctor will give it to me. I can't go to a doctor and ask for a morphine shot!
Added (1). By long term, i mean longer than 5 years

Is it bad to get contact lenses for a small eye prescription?

I just got my first eye prescription and I think it is about -0.75 for distance. I want to get contacts but my eye doctor said having contacts can make my eyes worse faster because I won't be able to take them out when I do close work. I also heard if you wear contacts you're eyes become more dependent and that I will need a pair of glasses for when I can't wear contacts. Is it true wearing contacts will make my eyes worse faster? Would it be ok to get contacts with my prescription? I really want them! I'm 17 thanks!
Added (1). Oh and will my eyes get worse in the next couple years? How can I slow it down if they will?

Is it normal for eyes to be red when you wear contact lenses first time?

So basically I m 14 and I just got my contacts and wore them for about 20 minutes before I started feeling negligible irritation when my mom told me that my eyes we re going red. I looked and I saw small red lines, like veins coming to my retina from the lower part and the corners of my eye? I removed my contacts now and I just want to know if this is normal and I should try again after a day or should I go see my doctor cause its my first time.

Does eye diameter matter?

I have astigmatism and I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to buy toric circle lens. Toric Circle Lens only comes in 14.0 mm but my prescription is 14.5 mm. My base curve is also 8.7 but the circle lens is only 8.6. Will buying the 14. Mm and base curve 8.6 toric lens work? I don't want to spend $60 for nothing:(

Should I get a contact for my one eye?

I've been wearing glasses since the fourth grade, but after a recent eye exam, I don't really want to continue. My glasses have basically just glass (it has a prescription, but it doesn't make a difference unless I'm trying to read something two inches from my face) in one side, and the other is a prescription lens. One eye is at -4 and the other eye is +.75. I don't need a contact in the +.75 eye, but I would for the -4 eye. Should I consider getting a contact only for that eye, or stick with my glasses?

1ST time wearing Contacts Help?

So I just got contacts and I wore them for the first time for a couple of hours after I taking them off one of my eyes felt slightly uncomfortable so I decided to wear my glasses instead

My Question is, if I cleaned my contacts and have stored them away and have not used them for 1 or 2 days do i have to keep changing the solution even though I have not worn them. So for everyday I have not worn them do i still need to dump the solution and fresh one as well as well as clean the container?

What's up with my eye's?

I cant stop blinking and Its mainly when I'm playing my Xbox. I've been to the opticians and they prescribed me glasses with special blue tinted lenses which help protect eyes from screens and they also told me I have dry eyes because I have a blockage in my Tear duct apparently. I'm using eye drops and glasses but my eyes still just feel so tired all the time and I'm blinking like mad still. Think I might see a doctor about them.
