Suggest Treatment For Loose Skin On Conjunctiva.

When I removed my contact lens last night my eyes burned significantly. I flushed with an allergy relief eye drop medicine and went to sleep. Now it appears as if the conjunctiva of my right eye is "loose". My sight is fine with glasses but it feels odd and I can see the membrane sort of "wrinkle" when I touch my eye.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having conjunctival irritation and conjunctival edema.
Since you are wearing contact lenses, contact lens related allergy or infection needs to be ruled out.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics or anti allergic drugs depending on the cause. You need to avoid use of contact lenses till the symptoms are relieved.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
