I don't know if im soppose to feel like this because I haven't used conacts in a while. Its been years since my last pair that only lasted a couple of weeks.

Now its diffrent I don't know if this is normal I bought something called clear eyes for contacts and tryed that. My eyes are still bothering me can somebody please help me and tell me what you might think is wrong with my one eye???

Answer 1

The first step would be to switch contac lens solutions. Which one are you using now? Many have preservatives that cause various problems. I would recommend using Optifree. The preservative used in this solution causes the least amount of problems. If you are already using this solution, or, the problem persists after switching solutions, make an appointment with your optometrist. Most offer Contact Lens follow ups and no additional cost. You may need to be switched into a different lens. It's quite common to have to try a few different lenses to find the one that works best for you.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

it's probably that either the contact is folded over, it's in backwards, or your eye is just trying to get used to it. take it out, wash it with the solution, and try putting it in again!
