What is wrong with my contact lenses?

Question

i have the acuvue oasis contact lenses and i've gone through three pairs this month...they get really foggy and i can't see out of them...

Answer 1

i use the exact brand and i had foggy lenses for awhile too

make sure you keep them soaked for at least 6 hours before wearing them again

i think what really helped me to get clearer sight was to use new solution to soak it in every time and just soak them overnight

Answer 2

see your eye doctor about it

Answer 3

What solutions are you using to clean them?  Not all solutions on the market are compatible with Acuvue Oasys.  You should stick to those that say they are for use with silicon hydrogel lenses.  If this isn't the cause, you may be producing too many lipids in your tears.  Silicon hydrogel lenses, such as oasys, attract lipids rather than protein.  Talk with your eye doctor as you need to get to the bottom of this an any case.

Answer 4

"foggy " as in you cannot see clearly with them...or "foggy" as in the lenses look dirty?

If they look dirty, you may be wearing them to much.  It is possible for proteins can accumulate and make them uncomfortable...but it takes more than a week..upwards of a month.

If they aren't allowing you to see clearly...I'd suspect that they are not the correct prescription.  Go back to the eye doctor and inquire.

Answer 5

Are your hands really clean when you handle your lenses?  Traces of cosmetics, soap, etc. can get onto your lens(es) and cause them to have a film on them.  Also, be sure to use only fresh solution when you rinse, soak and store them; contaminated/dirty solution can also cause this.
