Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. FML

Good part is: when you cry, there will be bubbles (:

you're not supposed to wear contacts in the shower.

ok not trying to be annoying or anything but thats why you don't shower with contacts in...

Ok...why is everyone making such a fuss over showering with contacts in? I've been wearing soft lenses for 12 years and I've never taken them out to shower, or even to get in the pool for that matter. Though if I swim with them in, I tend to have to replace them sooner. I've had soap, dirt, chlorine in my eyes and have never had my lens "stick" to my eye, or experienced any real problems. The only troublesome thing that has ever happened with my lenses, is once I accidentally rolled a lens to the back of my eyeball, it came out on its own a couple days later. ...seriously, what the hell brand is he using? FYI, I'm using Acuve Oasys with Hydroclear, maybe give them a shot.

I second that I never take mine out to shower nor had any eye dr over the past 15 years ever told me to do so.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has never had a doctor tell me not to shower in them. This fml is the first I've ever heard that you're apparently not supposed to. I've been doing it just fine for 7 years. Sometimes I'll get water in my eye and it'll be uncomfortable for all of a whole minute but then it's fine.

you can't scratch your retina.. the retina is at the very back of your eye. I'm assuming you mean cornea.

Ydi for showering with your contacts in. You're not supposed to do that for obvious reasons.

YDI - contacts are supposed to come off BEFORE showering.
