Contact lens changing shape?

Question

I went to put my contacts in this morning and one was a weird shape.. almost square-ish. Anyone know what this is? Is it bad to use it now?

Answer 1

Your lens sounds as if it has dried a bit on the edges, try rehydrating it in the solution you store it in, and see if this helps.

If this is a rigid lens, it is definately damaged and should be replaced. If it is a soft lens, try rehydrating.  If you find that doesn't help, you will need to replace your lens with a new one
