Question about my contacts showing everything blurry.?

Question

When I put my contacts in and go outside, every light pole and light looks like it is spread out with lots of blur. I can see fine, but the lights are blurry. It looks like what the lights look like when you get out of a pool. Is this normal, or should I go see an eye doctor?

Answer 1

Could be several things causing that.

If the lenses are fitting too tight, they can do that , if they are evn just a 0.25 too strong , they can do that.

It could also be that your lenses aren't as clean as they should be. A film on them will do that also. Maybe your solution isn't doing the job , or you aren't cleaning them long enough.

That is the same effect as having a car windshield with a coating of cigarette smoke on it...lights blur that way also.

If your lenses aren't as clean as they should be, then at times like that , it will show more.

If you are really really sure they are as clean as can be, then you should go back to the Doc to find out why. It has to be the power or the fit otherwise.
