I take them out, and clean them, there wasnt even anything visible on them. I dont get why no matter what i do they still hurt basically all the time, please tell me what i can do to make them feel better
Answers:
I believe you are having one of two problems. First, you may be suffering from poor tear quality. Some call this "dry eye". With poor tear quality patients tend to do relatively well for a period of time during the day. As the day progresses, though, the lens starts to become dryer and the mucous membranes of the eye and lid tend to lubricate less well. That is what causes the lens to become uncomfortable. Second, you may just be having trouble with this brand of contact lens. In my experience, patients either LOVE the comfort of the acuvue advance or they HATE the comfort. Why? I just don't know really. But when this happens to one of my patients I many times can deal with the problem simply by trying another brand. Might look into the Soflens 66 toric made by Bausch and Lomb. Hope this helped.
