I am new to wearing contact lenses? everytime i put in the lenses there's an excruciating pain in the eyes??
Question: is it normal for first time users? the pain is however brief and i wear the lens the rest of the day without any discomfort
Answers: Excruciating pain? The most you should feel that is considered normal is maybe some mild stinging...not excruciating pain.
Did you wash your hands? Did you rinse ALL of the soap off? If you have any left on your hands, it will burn.
Did you rinse the lens off good with fresh solution?
Did you examine the lenses to make sure they aren't torn or nicked? Torn or nicked contacts can cause excruciating pain.
Are you putting them in inside out? That really doesn't cause pain - if you can even get them in like that, they usually just pop right back out.
If you have checked all of th above, I would call your doctor. Perhaps you need to use a different solution if you are sensitive to the preservatives in the brand they gave you to use. Either way, excruciating pain is NOT normal for first-time users.
consult your optomitrist
your eyes are just adjusting to the contact solution and having contacts in your eyes. i found that switching solutions really helped with the stinging feeling.....i can't use opti-free. renu and complete work best.
Double check this with your doctor just in case.
I think you are just extra sensitive. Your eyes are warm but when lenses stand around in say a cool bathroom they get cold, I think the pain you feel is the cold of the lens which goes away after a few seconds because your body heat warms them up.
Check this with your doctor because first: I'm not a doctor; and second: I haven't seen your eyes.
This is more for the answerer above me then for you but, Complete was recalled because it caused eye infections. If any one was using that they should throw away any remaining solution, throw away the lens case, and disinfect the lenses really well before wearing them again.
It is normal for first time users, your eyes just arent used to the solution yet. When i first got contacts it was hard for me to get used to the solution too. It would sting everytime I put them on, I thought I was doing it wrong. But after you feel more comfortable putting them on the stingin will vanish.
Contacts can be tricky. Sometimes certain people aren't able to use them because their eyes are so sensitive. But I would say that isn't your case here. Next time really wash your hands and you might even want to rinse off the lense with solution before inserting it. If you still have problems, ask you optometrist and he or she can give you some different samples of solutions so you don't spend a fortune trying to find what is right for you. Good luck!!
