I came across a site http://www.contactlensheadlines.com/myths.htm which has an interesting list of 10 myths about contact lenses which I thought I’d review for our posts.  One of the myths which stood out was:

 Contact lenses can get stuck to my eye. Remember the old eye injury urban legend about the welder who accidentally fused contacts to his eyes? It’s just a tall tale, as are other stories about contacts becoming “attached.”

Although contact lenses can’t fuse to your eye as described in the myth, they can become really, really difficult to remove due to lack of moisture or dry eyes.  I suffer from getting dry eyes with contact lenses, particularly in hot weather.  I have tried many brands and types, now I wear dailies and not all the time, mainly when it’s hot or when I go out. 

But it’s the same thing, they get dry by the end of the day and stuck , and I swear Anthony is sick of me telling him this- patiruclarly as he’s usually the one who has to douse my eyes with thera tears and get them off.

 Yesterday I even tried to give new brand of silicone lenses another go after 5 years (we thought technology may have advanced differently over the past few years) but I got an allergic reaction again to them after 15 minutes of wear, and I didn’t take them out until the end of the day.  My eyes are still red and irritated today.

Anyway, I think the example given for this myth related more to fusion rather than getting stuck, which with contact lenses is temporary.  Anyone else had this hassle with regular contact lenses?
