Question:
What is wrong with my eyes or my contacts or both?
I just recently started wearing contacts and they just about drive me crazy. I have to use rewetting drops almost constantly and my eyes still feel as if something is in them all the time. Also they blurr over terribly bad too. Anyone have any suggestion for me of what I could do? I really am try to get away from wearing glasses.
Answers:
Ok firstly make sure you have washed and dried your hands thoroughly before putitng your lenses in, do not touch ANYTHING between drying your hands and putitng your lenses in.
I have been using contacts for years and work in optics and if i get naything on my fingers my contact lenses will be unbearably comfortable.
Make sure the lens is the right way around on your finger it should sit in a perfect bowl shape with no 'lip' round the edge. if it flips over when you try to put it in your eye its proably inside out.
put a couple of drops of solution on the lenses before you put them in.
If they are still uncomfrtalbe go back to your opticians taking the lenses with you. They will check what the problem is with the lenses and reccomend the best solution. This information is for soft lenses as someone said above if you are wearing Rigid Gas permeables then you may want to see if you can change although i doubt you are wearing hard lenses and they are not dispensed as often anymore.
(the person who said about astigmatism, your optician would know this and would have given you the right lens)
