Contact lens alignment issues?!


Question: Contact lens alignment issues?
I recently got contacts (1 month ago). I've just been given my final prescription pair (not trial). I checked and the prescription is correct, but for the right lens is not functioning properly. When I put it in, the image is far from clear, but I tried moving it around once and it got perfectly clear, only to align itself a different way several minutes later. I tried with the left, but it always remains clear. The lens may be inside out, but I have tried it both ways and nothing changes. I have the Acuvue Astigmatism lenses, which have a line in them that supposedly helps you put them in. Well, I have no idea which way that line is supposed to go, and the alignment of the lens changes for some reason. I'm not too sure what to do, for I've put it in every which way I can, but the image is always blurry now!

Astigmatism is always going to result in less clear vision. It's just a fact. Without surgery your eyes will always be imperfect.

If you have questions about how to correctly put your contacts in, you need to call the eye doctor.

Astigmatism in both eyes. Been wearing contacts for 15 years.

It sounds like your astigmatic lens fit is unstable and is rotating on your eye. during your fitting session your dr. checks this and makes the necessary adjustment to the axis to compensate for any stable rotation that the lens has. if the lens never "settles down" and doesn't stay in the same orientation it is a poor fit. It is also possible that there was typo error when your lenses were ordered (someone wrote it wrong, or ordered it wrong) go back and have your eye dr. check the lens.

I'm an eye dr

I have these same lenses and my eye doctor told me the line is supposed to be at 6 o'clock on your eye ball for instantly clear vision. you may need to go back to the eye doctor for some extra tips on how to put them in.

for me after putting them in i blink a few times and they line correctly.
