Going Through Different Brands of Contact Lenses?
April 24th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
I just got contact lenses and I tried Acuvue Oasys, but they didn’t fit right and it caused me to have blurred vision. Now I have a different kind, but I still cannot see completely clearly. Is it normal to go through so many different types of contact lenses?
What is normal to experience when getting used to wearing contact lenses? Like, my eyes dry out easily, so I have re-wetting drops, but they also itch a bit, and ache too.
Yes, it’s the same prescription. I can see fine, it’s just reading letters that gets blurry. The first pair didn’t fit right and were shifting. The new pair is much better, but still a bit hard to read details.

Are you sure you have the right prescription, because you should be able to see out of any, without blurred vision, even if they are not comfortable…something don’t sound right to me there.
You may have trouble with itching, dryness, watering, and your eyes feeling weird. If the rewetting drops don’t help with the itchiness, you can try using an antihistamine eyedrop, assuming your eyes itch when you aren’t wearing contacts too. You just have to wait about 10 minutes after using the antihistmine drops before you insert your contacts.
Your eyes shouldn’t ache with contacts. If they do, take out the contacts. If your eyes still ache with no contacts (& your eyes haven’t ever ached before you started wearing contacts) call your eye doctor. You could be wearing a lens that’s too tight.
Without knowing what your prescription is, I can only guess as to why your vision is blurry with the contacts. AcuVue Oasys contacts correct nearsightedness and farsightedness only. You could have a small amount of astigmatism that your eye doctor is trying to correct by using the spherical equivalent of your prescription. It might be helpful to know what contact you’re trying now.
Call your eye doctor and explain the problems you’re still having. It’s not unheard of when patients have a little trouble finding a contact lens that is right for them. Keep in mind that the contact lens fee you were charged should cover your contact lens training, any follow-up appointments you need to check your contacts for any reason, and trial contacts in any prescription or type that you need to try. Don’t let your doctor dismiss any problems or complaints you have.
