Why is my vison blurry when I wear my contact lenses?

Question

My contact lenses make my vision blurry up close when I try to read. These are brand new lenses and this is the second day I have ever worn contact lenses. When I look at things kind of far away, it's clear, but when I try to read books up close, my vision is blurred. My lenses are Acuvue Advance for astigmatism. Is this normal for a first time contact lens wearer?

Oh and one more thing, I have worn glasses for 8 years if this helps at all.

Answer 1

I have worn contacts for over 20 years. Until recently, I had no problems reading when wearing my contacts. I must wear reading glasses for reading or for working on things up close. I am 43, so this is a normal part of aging. Without knowing your age, I suggest that you see your optometrist tomorrow. You may need to have your prescription tweaked. Some people need to have one eye corrected for near vision and the other eye corrected for distance vision.



Good luck!

Could you have put them on backwards? Could you have accidentally gotten someone else's prescription and they have yours? I don't think this is normal. Call your eye doctor.

Several things....
Either you have them in wrong side out
You didnt get them cleaned well
Or you got them in the wrong eye

Answer 4

Not normal.talk to your eye doctor.
I think you may have the wrong prescription.
