So I have had this eye problem for about 4 or 5 months now, on and off. I wear contacts and have been in the same kind for several years without a problem. My left eye gets EXTREMELY itchy during the day. My contact always feels uncomfortable and it gets foggy. I get these chunks of stringy, white goop that floats in my eye. I don't have any problems with the right eye.

After having these symptoms on and off for quite some time, I went to my eye doctor. She told me to use an eye drop called Zatador. It didn't work. So I went back and she flipped my eyelids inside out and determined I have something called chronic allergic conjunctivitis? She put me on a month-long steriod eye drop treatment where I couldn't wear my contacts or even make up! My eye started to feel better and when I went back for my follow-up appointment, she told me I was cured. Literally 2 days after I started wearing my contacts again, my eye started itching again and it's now UNBEARABLE!

Has anybody else had a similar problem?! And what's the deal with "allergic conjunctivitis"?

maybe its the lens that now bother your eyes. Do they have different lenses you could buy. Or maybe they are the wrong shape for your eye so they irritate it?Or maybe its the solution you are using to care for them that are bothering you.
