Question 1

foggy vision from demo colored contacts?  temporary or a problem?

Accepted Answer

Usually temporary: Many people have problems with colored contacts, especially those bought on the street.  These could be very dangerous and cause damage to your vision.  If you want colored contact lenses, have them prescribed to you by a licensed eye doctor.  Good luck!

Question 2

will i have to live with foggy vision when i wear my colored contacts?

Accepted Answer

Possibly reacting: It is possible that the lenses you bought online are old rather than fresh, or that they are preserved in a chemical like thimerisol to which you're having an allergic reaction.  Also possible that the fit is wrong, or that your eyes are too dry to wear them.  Contact an eye care professional and have them evaluate you and the lenses.

Question 3

foggy vision because of sleeping in contacts?  when should eyes get back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Up to 12 hours.: I am of the opinion that you should never sleep with your contacts on. Even though the contact lens companies promote this, you are at greater risk of developing a corneal infection such as a corneal ulcer that can leave a permanent scar that might result in permanent decreased vision. I suggest daily wear disposable lenses. Remove your lenses immediately if you happen to sleep with them on.

Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis) can cause this. Blepharitis is a long-term problem, and one that tends to recur if treatment is not continued. Treatment for blepharitis is simple.....Hot compresses followed by scrubbing the eyelids with dilute baby shampoo on a cotton ball. More info: blepharitis info.
