Wearing contacts for the first time right now..?

Question

My right eye sees perfectly, but my left doesn't. My right contact prescription is -4.00 while my left is -4.25. My right eye sees perfectly and feels fine but when I close my right eye or have both eyes open I feel like a see everything slightly bigger and I feel slightly dizzy. Is this normal or is there something wrong with the prescription on my left contact?

Answer 1

Is this your first time using this prescription?  As in, you have never worn glasses or contacts before?  If so, that's totally normal, you'll have headaches for about 2 weeks while your eyes adjust to being able to see properly!  After that you'll be fine! :)

If not, then wear them for a week or so and if it is still a problem tell your eye doctor and have them recheck the prescription.

Hope that helps!
