Should I switch from hard (RGP) to soft contacts?
116494
I'm just curious why you and your doctor decided to switch to soft lenses in the first place.  If you can comfortably wear RGPs, they're much healthier for your eyes.  (They don't contain as much water as soft lenses so are less likely to lead to infection.)  Also, if you have a lot of astigmatism, hard lenses sit better on your eye (soft toric lenses can rotate) and so give you crisper vision.\n\nIf you have a good reason for wanting to wear soft contacts, give it some time.  Your doctor said that your vision will be a little blurry while your eye is going back to its original shape.  Wait until your vision stabilizes, then consider which feels better, which is easier for you to take care of, etc.

Maybe try a different brand of contacts?  I had some that were very painful and my doctor switched me to Acuvue 2.  I love them.  Contacts shouldn't be uncomfortable, but if you had corneal scratches then I wouldn't recommend going back to the old ones.  You could get a painful and dangerous eye infection from a scratched cornea.  Acuvues are very soft and they might be better for you.  Definitely do not keep the ones you have if they're bothering you, but also don't go back to the old ones.

you can switch any day, but no later than the day when you would have stopped your sugar pills and started back on active pills had you stayed on the ortho tri-cyclen lo (that day would probably be best if you don't want to interrupt your cycle too much). Because they are both hormonal methods the switch shouldn't be too bad. I would use a backup method for 7 days just to err on the side of caution, but in theory you should be protected immediately.

i would say most guys BS alot on this topic, for obvious reasons\nAvg hard is probably only around 6 inch\nAvg soft is something like 3 or 4 ..

Stronger contact lenses won't damage your eyes, but it will make them work harder.  This could result in eye strain and headaches.  If you're concerned that your contacts are too strong, consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist.  Remember that if you are not satisfied, you can always seek a second opinion.

This happens sometimes to me also. Put in a new pair of contacts, or try takin a break from your contacts for  a day or so. If all fails, go see your doctor.

Yes.  Contact lenses (the soft ones), are made of a special hydrogel.  This allows the contact lens to sit on your eye daily without irritating it (I know they irritate a bit but trust me.. it could be much worse!).  This places them in the classification of biomaterials.  \n\nBiomaterials are materials that come into direct contact with the body but are not 'of the body' so to speak.  Whenever something that is alien to the body (and this includes non native organ donors), an immune system response will ocur.  This will lead to inflammation depending upon the extent of the immune response.\n\nThe extent of this inflammation depends upon how biocompatable we can make the material.  Hydrogels are what we call very hydrophilic.  That is that they bind very well with water (and are indeed mostly water which is very biocompatable).  Thats why they slip and slide and are a bugger to get in and out of your eye.  This enables them to sit on your eye with minimal immune response.\n\nHowever, over the course of the day bacteria and dirt binds with the lenses.  Soaking them over night in saline and treatment disinfects them.  If you don't disinfect them, bacteria and dirt in general triggers a bad immune response of inflamation.. hence the red eye syndrome everyone hates.  \n\nAlso, because they are hydrogel, over the course of the day they can dry out.  Blinking unfortunately is not sufficient to keep them hydrated.  As they dry out they shirnk a bit and become quite hard like a plastic almost.  You can see this if you leave an old lens to dry out on the side for a bit.  This further becomes an irritation as now, rather than having a very soft lens on your eye, you've got a lump of hard plastic.\n\nFinally, with them also being very hydrophilic, as they dry out they will try to absorb water into their matrix from your eye.  This creates (in short detail) a bond between your eye and the lens making them also difficult and uncomfortable to remove.\n\nSo to summarise, don't leave em in.  It can be uncomfortable and potentially hazzardous for infection.  Also keep em clean or use new ones daily!\n\nHope this helps.

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!

I wear neither, but would choose contacts.

i'd say a nice @ss is the best feature, cause you need something soft to bump into ;)

Hiya.. I just started wearing contacts since May.. Cosmetic wise, contacts is definitely better.. But with so many types/colours of spectacle frames available, wearing glasses can be good too.. It's really upto your preference.. I will switch around depending on the occasion.. And you should not wear contacts for more than 12 hours each day, and never during your sleep.. Also, observe personal hygiene to avoid eye infection.. Take note of any expiry of the contact lens and solution.. Hope this is useful.. =)

Not yet.  It's very popular in glasses right now, so I'm sure there's a company somewhere trying to figure out how to get it to work in contacts.

Pick up an existing case that is already done. List all the manual processes that you followed. Try mapping the same on the App.(In case you were still planning an application then you could see whatever solution fitted best your manual process). Once that is achieved -you will have to review and fine tune the steps involved. Try this with a sample of contacts -look for variations in processes and events.\n\nEventually you should be able to achieve a smooth run.

Have you switched contact solutions lately?  If not, you still might be sensitive to the brand you are using.  Itchy eyes can often be fixed by simply changing the brand of solution you are using.\n\nHowever, I would go see your eye doctor first before trying to wear them again.  He can make sure you don't have a mild infection going on.  If he finds nothing wrong, try switching your solution.
