Answer 1

That's not normal.

If your eyes don't see well, look good and feel good, you should see your eye doctor immediately.

You've hit the trifecta. Get off your computer and go to your doctor.

1. The advantages are that you get to change up your eye color with your mood, with your outfit or just for fun. You get to choose your eye color...you have that control. The disadvantages are that colored contacts are more expensive (especially if you have special needs such as astigmatism or bifocals) and you have fewer comfortable options. The more comfortable lenses such as the Acuvue Oasis don't come in colors. You have less brands to choose from. Colored lenses if fitted correctly are not uncomfortable but they are not as comfortable as the other noncolored lenses probably because they are thicker.

2. It is not normal for you to have all of those problems on the second day of wearing colored contacts. Perhaps you have not cleaned them correctly or followed the instructions exactly with whatever products you use. I'd advise you to take them out and put your glasses on and clean them really really well before attempting to put them in your eyes again. Also, wash your hands really well before handling them so you don't transfer any products or grease that may be on your hands to your lenses.

3. You really can't keep your contacts clean while in your eyes and you shouldn't need to. Your nightly lens regimen should carry you through the day. You can try to use rewetting drops during the day to keep them clear but you shouldn't have to use them more than every couple of hours.

4. You should use Visine for contacts whenever you feel it is necessary but no more than every 4 hours. If your contacts fit well and you are tolerating them well, you should not need to use it any more often than that.

5. Your vision is probably still 20/60 if you haven't changed enough for it to cause you to need new glasses. If anything, it is a minor miniscule change. I've had eye doctors say the same to me and the only reason I got new glasses is because I wanted them.

Answer 3

1.I think for contact lens don't have much advantage except it more convenience for you when go for sport.The advantage just nice cosmetic effect.

2.NO! You should go to your eye doctor for double check is it the contact lens suitable to you.

3.When everytime you feel it is dirty you should remove it immediately and rinse it with your multipurpose solution.Then just wear it again.But normally if a pair of monthly contact lens you wear until almost due date it will be cloudy cause there have deposit in your eye lid.Change a new pair contact lens will solve this problem.

cant help you on 4 & 5.

Answer 4

Run to the doctor.

I personally do not like the colored contacts (r u using Freshlook) because they tend to dry out your eyes more (in my opinion) than clear contacts.
