I was advised to leave it at least a week. Don't risk it Siance, eyes are too precious. Mind you I only had the problem in one eye so went to a couple of parties (it was Xmas) with just one in (hate my specs).
Ouch - I had this a few years back and it hurts like buggery. Can't answer the question, but if it ever recurs and keeps recurring (apparently it can even if there's no further incident) I have a fair bit of info on options.

erm, havent you got an appt to go back to check its healed?
Dont wear lenses till then, till they tell you you can
Thanks for the replies.
Yes Hipps I went back today and they said it's healed (checked with dye etc). Eye still feels a bit sore (hot) but the painful gritty feeling's gone.
They said to go back if symptoms change / worsen and leave lenses out for 'a few days'. I figured a week?
I don't mind looking like Velma from Scooby Do I tried wearing one lens but there's a big difference in prescription so was giving me a headache.
ah good
so its healed
a week sounds about right to me
Siance - Velma was always the fun one, I thought.......
That Daphne looked far too prissy for my liking!
Hope it sorted soon.
On the funny side the nurse asked me if I'd been welding... Cue "Flashdance" - welder by day, erotic dancer by night!
Welding?
Sci have you been making your own dumbells again ?
