Why am i seeing double?

Question

I have GPC (Giant Papillary Conjunctivitus), its an infect on the inside of my eyelid that take months to go away. My doctor told me to gradually start wearing.my contacts again for short periods of time and work my way into wearing them regularly again. I didn't wear my contacts for about 3 weeks straight and i put them in for the first time for about 3 hours yesterday. It seems like while i have them in and look a certain way i see double of everything and its kind of blurry. I see double mostly when i turn my head and look out of the inside corner of my eyes. The infection is also located in the inside corner of my eyelid. Any suggestions? It's hard to explain... I hope someone can understand me lol

Most likely, when you look that certain way, the GPC is rubbing against your contact lenses and misplacing them slightly, causing the blurry vision.  When you look straight ahead the contact lens straightens back properly onto your cornea.
