Question about not seeing well with contacts?

Question

Hi i just got some toric trial pair lenses. I see perfectly fine when there is alot of light but when i close all the curtains and the room is kinda dim not dark i cant see as well. Things get blury. Is this normal? also when i excercise for example when i run it gets really blury. Is this normal? thanks

Answer 1

It can take several trials, at several days a time, to find a toric fitting that works with some people, and it isn't obvious the moment a lens goes in whether it's going to settle reliably or not, so a couple of days to prove it one way or the other is good practice.

The selection of lenses, particularly for astigmatic corrections, is not a trivial thing.  And it can't always be rushed to meet people's expectations.

That is not normal! You probably have an astigmatism (the shape of your way is a different shape, making your vision blurry at certain times during the day, usually at night). Regular toric lenses are made for people with astigmatisms, so buy some contacts that are especially made for them. I use Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism and they work great. I've never had blurry vision since I switched to them. You should try them! I hope I helped! :)

Answer 3

I don't think this is normal. Do you have astigmatism or are you just nearsighted? See your optometrist about it. Better safe than sorry.
