I just gotten a pair of trial contacts and i have astigmatism...???

Question

i never knew i had it but i think the trials helped astigmatism. the brand is purevision i think. so after many tries i finally got them in, they were all moist and cleaned and everything so i knew that after a few minutes or whatever they would settle down and not be so irratible. so i had them in for like about 5 or 6 hours but they were uncomfortable. they'd go from clear to blurry to clear again and everytime i moved my eyes i can feel them and everything. my eyes were also like dry and no matter how much of that solution thing i would put in my eye, it would always help for a minute or two and go back to how it was. is this normal and do i still have to get used to them??? like in a week or two, should i not feel it anymore??? are they too big or something because i was going to call the doctor again but i just wanted to see if is deal-able-with. by the way im 14 going on 15. thanx.

Answer 1

Your contacts are not providing your eyes with enough moisture. The blurriness is caused by you contact going dry. You shouldn't have to keep putting in eye drops.

It is normal for you to feel the contacts for the first week. Your eyes will adapt to it and you won't feel it anymore.

I would call your doctor and let him know that your contacts are drying out very easily. He can put you into another brand that will provide you with more moisture. There are plenty to choose from. Don't put up with uncomfortable contacts. God luck!
