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.

You : You may be developing a problem called gpc, where the eye begins to get inflamed due to contact lens wear. This causes an increase in mucous production which clouds up the lenses. You need to see an eye doctor to diagnose this and treat it. You may need to be out of your lenses for a while! if you do not recover, you may want to consider surgery to reduce or eliminate the need for contacts and glasses.
