Why is my vision blurry with my new contacts?
Blurred Vision Some blurriness is common for new contact lens wearers. The distortion usually results from dryness. To counteract the moisture loss, talk to your eye care practitioner about medicated eye drops or pick up over-the-counter drops from your favourite drugstore.
Is vision clearer with glasses or contacts?
Clearer vision. Contacts sit comfortably on the curvature of the eye, giving you a wider field of view than glasses lenses, and excellent focus. Your lenses won’t be affected by more adverse weather conditions such as fog and rain, while they also won’t steam up in hotter conditions.
How do I know if I put my contacts in wrong?
Hold a lens near its centre, between the tips of your forefinger and thumb. Gently squeeze the lens as if you were trying to fold it in half. While squeezing, look at the edge of the lens. If it’s pointing upwards, or if the edges appear to meet, then the lens is the correct way around.
Can contacts worsen your vision?
No, contacts do not make your eyes worse. This is a common concern because many contact lens wearers are nearsighted children or teenagers whose eyes are still changing.
Are contacts safer than Lasik?
The information tells us that contact lenses are not always a safer choice than LASIK surgery. Both contact lenses and LASIK are very safe, although there is a small risk of complications from both of them.
How do I know if my contact lense is inside out in my eye?
The ‘taco’ test Gently squeeze the lens as if you were trying to fold it in half. While squeezing, look at the edge of the lens. If it’s pointing upwards, or if the edges appear to meet, then the lens is the correct way around. If it bends outwards towards your finger and thumb, then the lens is inside out.
How often should you give your eyes a break from contacts?
THE NEED TO REST YOUR EYES Make it a point to remove your contact lenses and allow your eyes a chance to rest. Try to do this for at least a few hours every evening and as often as possible one whole day a week. During this time you would want to wear your glasses to continue your daily activities.

Why are my contacts blurry all the time?
Protein build-up is the most common cause of contact lens blurriness. Sam’s Club Optical reveals that tears contain protein and oils that attach to small grooves on the contact lens. Over time, a film develops on the surface of the contact, leading to distorted, blurry and cloudy vision.
Why is my vision getting worse even with glasses?
This is partly because of the natural progression of the presbyopia and partly because the blurriness becomes more noticeable when you take your glasses off. In other words, the contrast between poor and normal vision is more pronounced after you’ve been wearing glasses for a while.
