I am currently wearing astigmatism toric lenses. I reordered the same brand for later use. I wear my old contact for about 4 to 5  months. When I changed to my new contact lenses, it became blurry, I can see clear sometimes because the lense rotate, but the perscriptions are the same also the brand. I am wondering is it because my eye  is use to the old contact lenses and when I change it to new one it  won't get use to it for a while. Or it just wont fit? can someone please tell me why? Thank you guys so much.

You also may want to ask the optometrist - I have astigmatism and when I went in for new contacts 6 months after my last eye exam, I found out my eye had changed shape quite a bit, changing my prescription for the toric lense (my weights wouldn't hold in the right place).  The blurriness has to be the weight swinging wrongly.  \n\nYou know, it could also be that the company screwed up on your order - maybe give them a call.

Try AMO Complete solution. You should check with your eye dr. before resuming contact lens wear though.

If they are the same prescription they will work the same, but you see differently out of each, just give your eyes about a minute to adjust from one to the other.  ]\n\nI used to wear glasses, but I have wore contacts for about ten years now.  I don't like wearing my glasses anymore...only before bed-time!

Doctors will sometimes get freebees for perscribing new meds to pts.  The doctor or his staff might be giving you the new contacts to win a trip, get an office party... ect.\nIf you don't like how the contacts fit, tell the doctor that they are not comfortable and you want to stick with your old brand.  When he talks about the breathability of the new ones, be polite and explain that you have no problem with your old brand and you don't want to switch.  If there is a problem with letting you have your old brand back, tell him that you will go to a different doctor and tell all of your friends about how rude he is and you will report him.  But only do the last if you have talked and talked and refuses to let you go back to your old brand.

Hiya - yeh it's most probably down to the high pollen count, I use the soft disposable lenses and still my eyes feel dry when the pollen kicks in, only thing i can suggest is use some eye drops (they really refresh dry/swollen eyes), but be careful as i know with some contact lenses you're unable to use some eye drops... check the back of the packaging before u buy, hope your eyes improve soon :o) x

when i got my trial pair, i was told to toss them away after 2 weeks. after those 2 weeks i'd have to go and see my optometrist to see how my contacts were fitting and then he'd give me my 6 pairs.

I suggest eye laser surgery. I had mine 5 years ago after wearing contacts for 20 years and it was the best money i ever spent. I understand that current technology even makes the procedure with instant results and no recovery time for a week like i had. And it is painless. Now if you dont like that option, remember that the eye is the most resilient organ in your body and heals the fastest when injured so there is no reason to be afraid to touch it. Once you get past that hurdle it should not take you long to learn to wear the lens...good luck

You need to see your eye Dr. The contacts seem to have a problem or you are fighting an infection. You need an expert. Did you change Dr.'s they aren't all good, you may need another opinion.

they are designed for all day wear. i wear mine from the time i get up until the time i sleep. if you do wear them that long i suggest you get a brand that allows more oxygen in so they won't dry out. as for the types, daily lenses are designed to be thrown out after a day, weekly lenses after a week, monthly lenses after a month, etc. DO NOT wear them longer than stated for the type that they are. i had a pair that i wore for too long and got a very nasty eye infection and couldn't wear contacts for awhile. wearing them after thier 'expiration date' will cause a big decrease in oxygen and allow bacteria to grow.

I've been wearing contacts for 13 years.  I've never changed contacts monthly.  I normally wear them for  4 months before changing them out.. I've never gotten raging eye infections and my vision hasn't gotten worse in 8 years.  As long as your contacts are comfortable, untorn and cloudy-free, I say go for it! These days contacts are made so much better than in the old days.  They don't tear as much or get cloudy.  As long as you are using a good cleaning solution, I'd say you're fine.  Contacts are much too expensive to change bi-weekly or monthly.  Mine are $40 for 6 and they last me a year!

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

Sounds like there is one of two different problems going on here:\n\nFirst, you could have a mild eyelid infection.  These infections will definitely cloud up your contacts and make your vision blurry.  They will also call the "sleep" that you are getting in the morning.  This "sleep" is cause by a mucous that is a result of the infection.  The mucous dries out overnight and you are left with eyelids stuck together.\n\nSecondly, and maybe more likely, you have a condition known as giant papillary conjunctivitis (also called GPC for short).  In this condition, the inside of your upper eyelids essentially become inflamed.  This inflammation interferes with the proper functioning of your contacts and causes the symptoms you are describing.  \n\nIn either case, eyedrops will help to alleviate the problem.  Also, in both cases you should stop wearing your contacts full time until you see an optometrist.  Definitely do not sleep in them right now.

when you first start using contacts you may feel a little dizzy. ive had contacts for about a half a year but you will get used to it. \nit also may be your glasses are a diffrent prescripition and your eyes just have to get used to seeing that way.

I recomend the soft, two week, Acuvue contacts. I'm highly active and those are the best that work for me.\n\nPlease remember (and this is from experience) always take your doctor's advice about contact care. When I was younger I left my contacts in for several days and I got a bad eye infection that almost cost me my eye. Remove and clean your contacts every night and throw them away at the end of their cycle.\n\nAlso, as another tip, I can't put contacts directly in my eye (straight on my pupil)...If you can't either here's how you do it...\n\n1. Prepare the contact for insertion as your doctor tells you. \n2. With the contact on the tip of your finger get ready to place it in your eye. \n3. We'll do the left eye first. Okay, look right as far as you can and with the other hand pull the bottom eyelid down. \n4. Place the contact in the white of your eye (See? Instead of straight in.) \n5. Carefully close your eye and turn your eye back to where you are looking staight (with eye still closed) and push the contact into place. \n6. Repeat for the other side (only opposite). \n\nNow you remove them the same way...By catching by the side instead of straight on. This might take practice but the doc won't let you leave till he sees you can put a pair in by yourself so be paitent.\n\nGood luck! (And I know you are going to L O V E your first pair of sunglasses!!! :D)

I have had glassses since I was 15 years old and I am now 40. I wasn't popular then but I still need to see! Contacts worked for awhile, but now I am thinking of Lasix.\n\nAm I popular now?..don't know about that but I am confident enough that people don't even say anything about my glasses anymore and the only reason I think of the surgery is I am just tired of wearing them.

I wore contacts for about two years, and I had horrible habits with them; I had the "Night and Day" kind, but I would keep them in for up to two weeks at a time. I used the "No rub" solution, but barely cleaned them, and didn't put fresh solution in the case.  I ended up getting multiple ulcerated corneas in each eye, and can no longer wear contacts for more than one day out of every two weeks at the most.  I also have at least three scars in each eye, not to mention the extreme pain and light sensitivity I experienced when the infection was still there.  However, I'm lucky to still have my vision and the ability to wear contacts, no matter how infrequently.  Basically, keeping your contact lenses absolutely pristine is extremely important.

Dear Tim,\nOnce you cross 40 years it is not recommended to wear an extended wear contact lenses because your metabolism doesnt permit that. That is one reason why not many companies manufacure bifocal contact lenses with extended wear modality. If you really want a bifocal EW, u can get it done by your own Optometrist but in a Rigid Gas permeable material which will be specifically designed to suit your own need.\n\nJ&J's Acuvue bifocal when earlier lauched was launched as a Flexible wear lens (lenses with which you can take a nap)\nO2 Optix is a silicon hydrogel a newer material which is specifically made for EW modality\n\nJ&J's Acuvue Advanced and Oasis are again next generation EW silicon hydrogel materials.\n\nCIBA vision will soon be launching their new EW multifocal. But God knows how much time it takes.\n\nContact lens availability also depends on the country you live in. If you are in India, you definitely have a very few options left with you even with a multifocal/bifocal lens.\n\nZubin J\nOptometrist
