I've had problems with my contacts since I switched from Surevue to Acuvue 2 years ago. I went to the optomitrist the other day and asked him for a new brand when he did my perscription. He gave me Focus lenses. I can wear them for only a couple hours at a time because my eyes will itch horribly. They feel fine when I put them in but after a couple hours I can't stand it. I've never experienced anything like this. I'm starting to wonder if its my eyes or the contacts. Has anyone had this problem before?

I have had this problem before and it was due to the fact that I was allergic to the solution that the contacts were stored in. It sounds as if you are allergic to the contacts or the solution that is used for the contacts. I would suggest that you get in contact with your eye doctor, before you get an infection.

sounds like the contacts. I've used Focus for 10+ years without any problem but people are different. You really do want to get this checked out though.

Someone who itches all over should seek medical care. Because itching can be caused by such a wide variety of triggers, a complete physical exam and medical history will help diagnose the underlying problem. A variety of blood and stool tests may help determine the underlying cause.

You could have an allergy to the contacts or to the solution you are using. Try one that's hypo allergenic. You may need to see an opthalmologist. He is much more knowledgeable than an optometrist.

Sounds like eye allergies, you may be allergic to something they use to make the lense...see an optometrist asap!

Try Proclear contacts. They are a bit pricey but well worth it.

You may have eye allergies, ask your eye doctor about it.
