Question 1

how do i stop cloudy film from forming inside my contac lens? i have been wearing gas permeable contact lenses without any significant problems. in the last 6 months, everytime i put my contact lenses on- the right lens gets cloudy and it has a film over

Accepted Answer

This : This could be a fit issue where debris is being trapped.  It could also be the gpc as previously mentioned.  I also see similar issues with severe lid inflammation and contact lens use - make sure you are cleaning your eyelids very well each day.  I also feel patients that use make-up around the eyes need to be careful with contact lens use.  It is amazing the amount of make-up that makes its way into the tear film.

Question 2

can i use an eye drop to store my contact lenses for few hours untill i buy a contac solution ?

Accepted Answer

Contacts: Probably yes but please contact your eye doctor for certainty.

Question 3

severe corneal abrasion 5 days back.now put under bandage contact lens after corneal scrapping.vision still very blurry.when will my vision be clear?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: and depth of abrasion.  If it is not improving, you could have an infection.  Best to reconsult with your eye doctor.

Question 4

is it safe to wear one contact lens in my right eye for only two hours. i have a form of pink eye in my left eye which still has some blurred vision.

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Conjunctivitis can spread quickly from one eye to the other.  Therefore you should not wear contact lenses at all until the infection is clear.  Continuing to wear the contact can increase the risk of worsening infection, corneal injury etc.

Question 5

my contact lenses are -6.00, what is my vision 20/?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: There is not a direct  correlation between prescription and uncorrected vision but it is probably around 20/400. We almost always use corrected vision which in your case may be 20/20.

Question 6

can i get contact lenses from the walmart vision center?

Accepted Answer

Sure: They employ optometrists who are usually well trained to fit most common eye refractions.

Question 7

why my vision is blur after removing the contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Do you wear corrective glasses and the vision is still blurred?  Go see your eye doctor.  If you don't wear glasses after taking out the contacts then it would be normal to be blurry. If you have any pain or discomfort that would also deserve medical attention.

Question 8

are there contact lenses you can wear at night that correct your vision?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are special contact lenses that can reshape the cornea to treat low levels of nearsightedness. This is called orthokeratology. However, one must go through a series of lenses and continue to wear them to have a lasting effect, similar to wearing braces and then a retainer at night.

Question 9

is it a bad idea to wear one contact lens at the dmv for the vision test?

Accepted Answer

Dmv eye test: Both eyes should have their required visual correction  when taking the dmv test.

Question 10

what are the most comfortable everyday wear coloured and vision contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

The right ones: The most comfortable contacts are the correct ones that are fit to your eyes.   Your eye doctor will help you with this
