i just got contacts on saturday and i like them alot and everything but the thing is i can't really see that good with them on. i don't know if i put them on wrong or my eye doctor gave me the wrong prescription. is it normal not to be able to see for the first couple of days you get contacts? or did i do something wrong?
p.s.- i always put the right contact in the correct eye... i have it in an order so i know that they are going in the right eye.
mustangman answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 5:33 pm: well personally i cant see as well with my contacts in vs. glasses, but its not that much different. sometimes it takes like an hour for mine to fully adjust in and you do not wanna wear them over 8 hours [ mustangman's advice column | Ask mustangman A Question ]

cailoisa answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 3:15 pm: Maybe you should get your eyes rechecked. My doctor always give me a sample pair to wear for two weeks before ordering my perscription to see if we got it right. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]
TucanFullOfHoles answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 3:14 pm: you might not have put them in right. i've had them in for almost a year and just this morning that happened to me. take them out and put them back in your eyes again. if thats not the problem, go to your eye doctor.

poshinpink answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 2:37 pm: when i first got contacts i had a little bit of trouble adjusting to them i found it hard to focus on things and when i tried to read things especially on the computer things seemed a little blurry but that eventually went away as my eyes adjusted
you should go in for a check up about a week or two after you get your contacts though to make sure that everythings fine [ poshinpink's advice column | Ask poshinpink A Question ]
xcaseyx answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:56 pm: well .. if they are inside out then it would pinch really badly .. its prolly just because theres either something on them or you're adjusting .. i just got contacts August 5th but i didnt have a problem seeing [ xcaseyx's advice column | Ask xcaseyx A Question ]
paradiei3abii3x answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:54 pm: Well, I am guessing that they are cleaned? So that you are able to see..but yeah, I'm not sure what could be wrong, tell your parents, or go back to your doctor and see if he knows..hope I helped..good luck! <3 [ paradiei3abii3x's advice column | Ask paradiei3abii3x A Question ]
.:ashli:. answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:42 pm: i got contacts too. the first couple of days i couldnt really see that great with them in the my eyes either. my docter told me that i was just like that because your eyes are trying to adjust to having something in them. and if it doesnt get any better then call you docter. but thats all i can tell u!

XxStereOchilDxX answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:21 pm: I have contacts to i'v had them for a while...maybe there inside out ..you can tell when u take them out because when inside out the edge is more v shaped and when not inside out its more smooth lyk a bowl. If you still cant see them maybe you should contact ur eye doctor. [ XxStereOchilDxX's advice column | Ask XxStereOchilDxX A Question ]
