Question 3

is it ok to see halos around lights when wearing contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Many people do see halos with contact lenses.  Sometimes, it could mean your contact lens is not completely clean.  But if its a new lens, then most likely its normal.

Question 4

why is it that i see halos around lights when i'm wearing contacts but not glasses?

Accepted Answer

Need better Rx: First I am goung to assume these contacts are not bifocal cl's.  Halos whn using bifocal contacts are normal.  If you see halos arouond lights, this usually means the prescription is not as accurate as it can be.  Rarely halos can be caused by corneal edema from a poorly fitted contact lens.

Question 5

could you tell me why i see halos around lights when i'm wearing contacts but not glasses?

Accepted Answer

Bifocal CL: If you are wearing a bifocal contact lens, some halos seen round lights is "normal", or at least a limitation of the type of contact lens.  If this is not the type of cl yo u wear, than the lens fit or power needs to be improved/corrected.  You should not be seeing halos if your ocular health is good (no cataracts).

Question 6

exposed to bleach fumes yesterday for about 3 hours. today my eyes are very sore and i see halos around lights and dekstop icons on pc.

Accepted Answer

Need exam: Fumes from bleach usually cause irritation, but not more serious problems.  However it is concerning that you have vision changes today.  Regardless of what might have preceded your eye pain / seeing halos around lights = you need to have your eyes examined right away.  The eyeball surface will be viewed under magnification. 
Good luck and feel better
