I slept with my contacts in (I know, bad. You can scold me later.) and now I'm suffering. What can I do? ?

Geez, that sounds pretty rough. The light-sensitivity and pain you're describing, along with the redness, makes it sound like it could be an infection, so as much as I'd like to reassure you, you need to get over to an optometrist as soon as you can. Don't wear your contacts, obviously; use artificial tears if you've got them (not contact lens solution and not Visine's "get the red out" drops!) and wear sunglasses or keep your eyes closed as much as you need to.

It's time for a visit to the optometrist!! Right away!!

You tore the outer layer and it is too late to use warm salt water. Prolly need a professional as there are germs involved now. Vitamin e tablet oil on the lids when you are sleeping is good for healing. Keep everything clean.

You need to go straight to the optometrist right now. You only have one set of eyes, don't wait one more day. They might be able to save your eyesight before it gets worse.

ugh. ive done this before. use eye drops that are formulated for red eyes. put them in every once in a while, it will sting a bit, but thats cuz its working. try this for like a day or so, and if they arent getting better [they should be] go to your eye doctor. but the eye drops will help a lot. it worked for me. good luck :)
