A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal to see a glare when you first start wearing contacts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be: New contact lens fitting and wear takes a few weeks to adjust to the "newness" on the eye surface. Dryness, rotation of toric contact lens, refractive error adjustment, & fit may all contribute to some blur/glare symptoms. Follow up with your prescribing doctor if persists.
