A member asked:
Is it okay to wear 2 different brands of contacts.. one for each eye.. it's a trial pair before my real ones come in?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: As long as the contact lenses are suitable for the eyes (meaning appropriate size, power, permeability, etc...), each eye may use a different brand of contact lens. Most people do use the same brand for both eyes, after testing out trial lenses.

Yes: No problem. This will be a good way to determine which brand feels and sees the best.

My left eye is extremely blurry. I tried using eye drops to clear any debris, and looked to see if i can see anything. Any idea this happened sometime within the last two hours. I do wear contacts and as i was putting one in it felt abnormally painful.
I went to the eye doctor's and was prescribed with two different prescriptions: -5.5 and -6.5, one for studying, and other for home/out. Is this okay?
What do I do if only one of my eyes has bad eye sight? Wear contacts in one?
