Contact lens

Question

 

 

Hi,

I fell asleep while my contact lens was still on. Now it dries out and I can't remove it.

How much does it cost to have an ophthalmologist remove it for me?

Thanks

 

Answer

Thanks for your Question

You should see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible because you are at high risk for corneal infection from contact lenses. Don't wait till morning to visit an eye doctor in his clinic, you can go to any emergency room in any general hospital and ask the reception if they have any ophthalmologist or ophthalmology resident oncall. 

I am not sure in which part of USA you live but you might have to pay from $100 to $200 with the medication.
