Right eye Contact lense loose when I blink?watery?

Question

Ok, i just got some trial daily lenses called "Bausch & Lomb SofLens daily disposable". The optometrist put them on for me and after a while i got used to them. My left eye is fine and fits perfectly but my right eye, whenever i blink it causes a weird "reflectiony,watery image on the sides of the lense. It then refocuses and is clear again." This also occurs when i look sideway or move my head sideways. I asked my optometrist he said it might be "loose" and said to try it out for a few days and see if it goes away.

Anyways, do u think it has something to do with my small eyes(im asian haha)?

Do you think its the type of contact lense i have?

Do you think ill ever be able to wear contact lenses?

Any other suggestions why this is happening?

Answer 1

Have you checked to see that you aren't wearing it inside out?  Sometimes just flipping it over and trying again helps...if this doesn't work, definitely tell your eye doctor.

Answer 2

Never use homemade saline/tap/distilled water or saliva to clean your lenses

Never sleep while wearing your daily wear contact lenses.

Never change or mix lens care solutions/systems without consulting your ophthalmologist.

Avoid oil based makeup. Avoid getting cosmetic creams and lotions on your lenses

Remove your lenses in case of red eye or irritation. Seek medical attention immediately/

Answer 3

It's not really normal, I don't think. I hate it when optical professionals tell you to "get used it" with something abnormal.

My guess is either the lense has some debris on it (perhaps your own eye protein) or maybe it is not fitted exactly right. Since this is a trial pair, it wouldn't surprise me if the lense is not "exactly" what you're supposed to be wearing on your eye. Also, if you have astigmatism in your eye, you might need a special lense. Fitted improperly, a contact lense in an astigmatic eye, particularly if you have lots of astigmatism, can be quite uncomfortable and move around a lot.

Good luck!
