2nd Day in RGP's....questions

[timtim]

Thanks for the advice. I want to give it more time, but its hard when its bothersome. I could only handle 3 hours of them today. Did any of your eyes get pretty red when you first got RGP's? Mine have been everyday. If so, did it go away? The only reason why I am concerned that the right lens isn't fit right is because it really seems to move a fair amount more than the left, which moves slightly. Even after wearing them 3 days, i get a pretty big blur in my right eye after every blink. Its bad enough to the point where it really bothers me. I think I'm going to give the eye doc a call this afternoon, ask him what he thinks, and I'll see if he wants to see me before our apointment the week after next.

I called my doctor yesterday and told him about the problem, and he was able to fit me in his schedule today. I just went in, and he found the problem, had me try on 2 new right lenses that he had there, and the second one gave me the best vision that I've had in years! I can't explain how happy I feel right now. The past few years have been hard for me visually, I've dealt with a lot of fighting between my eyes, as they weren't working together well. I was getting a lot of headaches and just poor vision. Anyways, its just such a huge relief to have it suddenly so much better

from what you explained it did sound as the right lens fit wasnt great. now it does take a while to build up a tolerance to wearing these as to start off with it really does feel uncomfortable, so try your best and be a bit patient altough you'll obviously know when there is a problem. after a while you'll still be aware that the lenses are there but comfort will be a lot better hopefully.

Glad you got sorted out with a new lens
