And now i cant see clear with them on it looks blury? Howcome?
Answers: When you have the lens sitting on your finger ready to put in look at it from side on. If it curves out like a dinner plate then it is inside out. It has to curve in nicely.
You also need to make sure that your hands and fingers are impeccably clean. Even the smallest amount of dust dirt or sweat can cause burning or irritation.
i have no idea go to the eye doctor and find out or just wear glasses
well try drops and if that doesnt work ... flipp them
sounds like they are in side out...away i tell is i hold them in my fingers and make a taco shell shape out of them.....if the top edges fold in they are good if they dont and stick to your finger they are in side out.....but sometimes they can burn when you put them in so i take it out and clean it and put it back in and that usualy helps.
It sounds like they might be inside out or in the wrong eye. many contacts have the numbers or letters on the edge. Take it out and hold it up to the light. If it's reverse, they're inside out. They may also not be cleaned properly. If they're the disposable kind, have you used them past the recommended two weeks? If you wear contacts everyday, you may need to get or wear your glasses. Contact wear is not good when done every day.
I think, you should consult with eye specialist...
lots of reasons. My advice is go see the optician first for preliminary check on the eyes and if needed, an opthalmologist - afterall we only have one pair of eyes. The burning sensation could be your lens are contaminated or your fingers were not clean when you put it on. Your cornea could have been affected. So, take off the lens and head for the eye doctor.
Well when I put one in inside out, I just felt like there was an eyelash in my eye. If you look at it very closely, you'll see that one way is a bit rounder, and more eye-shaped then the other. You want to make sure it's like that, and that it doesn't look like it's puckered.
Do you have long finger nails? I pretty much pull mine out with my nails :S and one day I put a tinytiny hole in one. It hurt so much and my eye was going watery and it felt like there was dust and eyelashes in my eye, so I just took it out, threw it out, and got a new one.
You also might have a buildup of something on them. I'd suggest just throwing the lens out if it's near the time to change them anyways, but you could also soak them in Supra-Clens, that gets portein buildup off.
If you don't absolutley need your contacts for seeing during the summer, then just don't wear them for a few days, then wear them for just 8 hours, then 9, etc.
Did you happen to put mascara or eyeline on? That could've irritated the lens too.
Good luck!
