Title: PINK/RED EYE
Post by: jazzfunkanne on January 05, 2009, 11:08:17 am: Does any one else get pink eye after washing their hair, i will just have too try and be more careful its hard when you dont have any feeling on the AN side, i might start taping my eye up again when i was my hair, btw it is baby shampoo i use.

Ouch!
I haven't had any trouble with my eye in the shower because I use swimming googles (clear) and it works fantastic!
I put the strap way down low at the nape of my neck and it is not in the way at all. At the end of my shower I take it off and rinse the back of my hair again, just in case I didn't get all of the shampoo or conditioner out.

My eye gets red/pink sometimes when I shower. I have never used anything but regular shampoo/conditioner...ever...and have never had any problems from that that can not be corrected by a drop (or salve) after I finish. Besides, baby shampoo is really NOT good for your hair! Can't we be vain about something?? I count it as a blessing that I cannot feel in that eye if it isn't going to blink right!! ;D

Post by: mk on January 05, 2009, 02:10:36 pm: I have the same problem too. The tiniest amount of water (not even shampoo, just clear water) will make my eye red and very irritated. I find this really strange, as I don't have any facial issues, or trouble closing my eye. I do have dryness in the cornea though - I suspect that normally eyes are protected by a film of tears that is missing when the eye is dry. So, I have tried to use eye drops right before going into the shower and it helps a bit. I also try to hold my eye closed as tightly as possible. I haven't thought of swimming googles, Michelle this is a terrific idea.

I always say to my husband "Aren't I the vision of beauty?" He loves me!
