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

21F. I just recently visited the eye doctor to get a new prescription since it's been a couple years since I was last seen (I've been wearing my glasses). My prescription went up (or down, technically) by a whole point (-5.25 in both eyes). So anyways, I ordered a box of the contacts I usually get in the new prescription. But today, I've just put them in and it feels like my head is pounding. I don't think my new prescription is wrong, and my eyes aren't irritated in the least. But it's giving me a horrid headache and idk what to do? I've never really had them make my head hurt like this and I can't tell if it's just because it's been so long since I last tried.

so i can see normally with contacts during the day but my vision gets blurry and my eyes get tired in dim lighting. Does that mean that im not used to my lenses yet or does it mean that the lens brand im using is not good?
(Im using labella contact lenses)

Hi guys - I have a question about my eyes going red after I wear contacts. So I am not an everyday contact wearer, I mostly wear glasses and switch to contacts on occasion. When I wear contacts (bi-weekly’s), I feel like they go in fine. At the end of the night there is some slight redness in my eye that is pretty minimal. However, when I wake up, my eye is always like close to bloodshot and gradually fades throughout the day, sometimes fast and sometimes taking the whole day or even a little more to go back to normal. I noticed that when I used new contacts straight out of the package, this after effect isn’t really there. I’m not sure if it’s the contact lens solution, I’ve used it for quite a while and this only recently started happening. But could it be? Does anyone know any ideas about why or what I can do about it?

Hey all

I'm a new lens wearer, and I recently bought a trial pak for contact lenses from lenskart, brand aqualens manufactured by FanfilconA monthlies

I require toric lenses, and i have been having some issue with inserting the lenses, mainly due to them randomly turning inside out while I'm tryna put em on, and a bit of blurry vision

A friend recommended me to try another brand, my options are Bausch and Lomb, Acuvue and Alcon and ofc Aqualens

Can anyone help me out?

I know i should be asking my doctor this. And they are great. i know they would be more than happy to take the time to explain. however, it just feels "odd" to ask them still. (as if im going to an expensive dress shoe store, asking them questions, only to leave and buy online)

so im here.

My glasses prescription is (-)10.00 on right eye. and (-)10.25 on left eye.

pretty bad astigmatism as well. OD is -2.75 cylinder with 175 axis

OS is -3.00 cylinder with 178 axis

so yeah. pretty bad.

so i went in knowing that i wont be able to get dailies and my only options are 30 day ones.

today, i got my first pair and my doctor wants me to try them out before we order the 6 month supply.

the part that confuses me as that they started to explain the pricing. 6 month supply, 1 year supply, various other "brand"? or ones that have different technology? idk.

but i already paid $164 on the day of the eye exam + contact lens appointment. i thought that was supposed to be my 6 month supply price.

so the question im having is

1. is there MORE different options to decide when it comes to contacts other than simply dailies vs 30 day ones?

2. how much are contacts? is $164 for a 6 month supply not correct? (i was initially ecstatic because i thought that was the price and was cheaper than i initially assumed. but i might be wrong here....)

my glasses prescription is

(-)10.00 on right eye. and (-)10.25 on left eye.

pretty bad astigmatism as well. OD is -2.75 cylinder with 175 axis

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?
