Contact lens burnt my eye?

Today I wanted to wear my contact lenses. I took one of them out of the case, and by the time I was able to recognize which way is correct ans which way is inside out, the lens became kind of dry. I put some solution on it and waited a bit, then I put it in my eye and it instantly burned like crazy. I was barely able to get it out and my eye was very red. Am I okay? By the way, the solution usually burns my eye but it goes away in about a minute, but this time it burnt way too much. But I normally don't put solution after I take it out of the case.

My eyeglass prescription changed slightly but now I can't see through them?

My old prescription was -4.50 Cylindrical +1.00 axis 075. Left eye -4.50 Cylindrical +.50 axis 105.
My new prescription is -4.25 Cylindrical +1.00 axis 085. Left eye -4.25 Cylindrical +.75 Axis 090.
Both have an addition of +2.50.
I saw fine with my old glasses but my eyes were very fatigued and my doctor lowered the distance and increased the addition slightly. He said I won't notice much of a difference. But when I put on my new glasses it was really blurry. Assuming the lenses were done correctly, (and the optical store is willing to redo it) why am I having a problem when the prescription is not much different?
Added (1). I should note that my old prescription had an addition of +2.25, my new one is +2.50

Help for putting in contact lenses?

I'm doing a cosplay of a character with pink eyes the day after tomorrow and I got colored contacts (non-prescription, so they don't alter my vision). I tried practicing putting them in for the first time, and I followed my mom's instructions since she's worn contacts for a long time but nothing worked.

I washed my hands, trimmed my nails, soaked the lens in solution, and pressed it into my eye, but the lens always stuck inside-out to my finger and wouldn't stick to my eye at all. Should my fingers be completely dry? I have dry eyes, so should I put in eye drops before trying to put in the contacts? I don't think it's a problem with the contacts since they had very good reviews and my mom didn't notice anything wrong with them.

My dad said I might just not be able to put contacts in, but that'd be really disappointing since my cosplay character's eyes are probably her most known feature.

Blue or brown contact lenses?

I'm wearing a navy blue mermaid-cut gown for my 21st birthday, and I can't decide which is better, brown or blue contact lenses?

I would go natural but unfortunately I have myopia:/

What would you suggest? I'm asian, light brown skinned.

Thanks.

What is wrong with me? I'm 22yrs old and always forgetful?

I'm 22 years old and recently graduated from University. I'm currently working Part-time in a shoe shop. I'm trying to apply for jobs in the field I studied in.

I'm having problems with my concentration and memory and I don't know why. It's not an issue I have had before, so what's wrong with me now?

For example every morning I always forget to pack something important I need for work, every time I go to grab something from the stockroom for a customer I always forget what it is and have to ask a colleague to repeat it, sometimes when I go to grab some shoes which are in boxes and labeled with the name and colour. I can't seem to see them properly (even though I wear contact lenses), so I'll say to the customer we don't have the item but if one of my colleagues goes to check, she ends up finding the shoe the customer needs.

I'm always continuously daydreaming, I have been working there for 3 months now and I can't seem to do my job fast and efficiently. My colleague taught me how to do a refund and even though its so simple, I'm always forgetting how to do it. I forget the most simplest thing and I always feel tired.

I don't know if its because I don't get enough sleep, I eat junk food and I don't exercise.

I also feel demotivated at work. I think it may be because I don't enjoy working in retail and I hate my job. BUT most of my colleagues don't like the job too but they are fast and efficient at their job so why am I the only one who is so useless?
Added (1). Some people say that I have ADHD, others tell me to visit the doctor (I haven't visited one in 6 years). I don't know what to do, I've never been this way before, so why am I like this now?
Added (2). And how do I stop daydreaming?

After school, when to put back Contact lenses?

I put on my contacts at 6:30pmam. I get home from school at 5-6pm. Shorty then, removing my CL (Contact lenses) I'm aware that I can't have them on longer than 8 hours or else I'm depriving my eyes of oxygen.
How long do I need to wait before putting them back on b/c I also study on the computer. Yes, I do take them off before sleeping!

What contact lenses should i prefer?

I've just come back from my eye doctor because my old glasses and contacts were too weak (they were -1.00D in both eyes). My new prescription is:
OD: -1.50 sp -0.75 cyl
OS: -1.50 sp -0.50 cyl

So calculating the spherical equivalent, for left eye is -1.75, while for right is -1.875. So for the right eye is better choosing -1.75 or -2.00 contact lenses?

Can't get new glasses without fitting? Since when?

I wear both glasses and contacts. The other day my new puppy chewed on my glasses so I went and ordered a new pair from lens crafters. I didn't have my prescription with me so I did that thing where they verify the prescription with your Dr s office. I got a call the next day that my eye doctors office would not approve/give the prescription as I have not had a fitting. (Not that the prescription is expired, I confirmed that part, my last appointment for a check up was like 4 months ago). I don't understand this as I have never had a "fitting" or problem before. I've ordered plenty of glasses this way and never had it come back that I have not had a "fitting". I will call my office when the open in the morning, but until then any idea what this means?

Can i convert an eye glasses prescription to the contact lense prescription?

Hello, i got my eye exam and i have a eye glasses prescription but i want contacts. They said i can't use a eye glasses prescription to get contact lenses. I already paid 45$ for the exam and the contact lense exam is 90$! I have the numbers on the prescription for eye glasses. This might sound dumb but Is there anything like a formula to convert those numbers to a contact lense prescription?

Missing school because of corneal ulcer?

About a month ago, I had a corneal ulcer in my eye with a viral disease in it due to overuse of contact lenses.

Today, my eye was feeling red and irritated again, so I went back to the eye doctor and found out an ulcer is forming once again due to bacteria from contact lenses. (yes it is my fault for sleeping in them)

Anyways, the last time this happened, I could hardly do anything because my eye was in so much pain and watering. I'm a senior in high school and I just can't see how I'm going to be able to sustain seven hours at school tomorrow because it's very hard to focus with my eye like this.

Would staying home be logical? I seriously HATE missing school because it can be so difficult to catch up, even just one day.

I have astigmatism. For colored lenses is it better to wear non toric prescription or no prescription?

So for awhile now I've been looking into Solotica colored contacts because of the natural look they give, but since I have astigmatism the affordable colored contact options for me are brands like air optix and what not which I don't like the appearance of because they look fake and you can tell they re contacts unlike the realistic solotica ones that look like natural eye color. Solotica does make toric lenses but they re extremely difficult to find and are 2-3 times the price of regular sphere contacts. I've heard about people using sphere contacts in a certain different prescription that they calculate to make it the "equivalent" of their astigmatism ones but i'm scared if i spend that much on ordering them and my vision is even worse than having no prescription, it would ve been a waste. Is it a better option for me to get Solotica non prescription lenses and just see with my normal vision without any correcting, or, should I get sphere lenses? I'm not sure which is safer or what not. Thanks
