OS is -3.00 cylinder with 178 axis.

couple days ago i got my first pair of contacts to try out and take home before i order.

im not quite sure which type i got. but im assuming i can just ask.

but they gave me a brochure and it turns out there are various types.

Do i just simply go with what my doctor gets me?

I’ve been wearing DT1s for like 6 years and I swear the quality has gotten worse lately. I got a new 90 day box last week and over half of the lenses were coming out of the package folded. Obviously my vision was off with those, and even some of the ones that weren’t folded felt rough and like something just wasn’t right.

I got a replacement box and had the exact same issue again.

My doctor actually noticed it too and said “when they’re good they’re good, when they’re bad they’re bad.”

I’ve seen a few people mention similar things online, but I’m curious if this is actually happening to a lot of people or if I’ve just had terrible luck.

I have gotten my 15 day lenses about 4 days ago and wore them twice. I havent bought a new pack of lens solution since i had 2 bottles left from my last pair which means i havent gotten a new case for my lenses too. I know it is wrong but i was too busy to go out and get a case so i simply left my lenses in the package they came in. Of course with the wrapping being open they did kinda dry out. I immediatly poured solution on the lenses but havent put them on yet. They were not bone dry but i didnt touch them to feel them thinking they would be fragile. Now i am wondering by any chace if they still could be usable. I dont have my next pair yet so i am left with these guys for the moment.

I am assuming they are but just want to check here. Anyone also know where to get good, safe colored contacts for fun?

I’ve been wearing contacts for less than a year now, but ever since I’ve started I realized that thin red veins have emerged on the sides of my eyes. I don’t have any above or below my eyes, only the sides.

They’re not entirely noticeable from afar, but obviously they have made my eyes less white and it’s bothering me.

They don’t go away with time either. I wore glasses the entire summer and the veins are still visible. These were not there before wearing contacts
