Getting Used to contact lenses- new wearers | ACUVUE®

Question 1

Are contact lenses comfortable?

Accepted Answer

Correctly fitted contact lenses should feel comfortable, and most modern soft lenses are made from breathable, moisture-rich materials. However, if you are experiencing discomfort, the best way to find out why is to talk to your Optician.

Question 2

Should the contact lenses move around after I put them on?

Accepted Answer

With proper fitting, contact lenses should stay in place almost all the time. Even on that rare occasion when a contact lens moves out of place, it usually stays on your eye until you can move it back into place.

Question 3

Getting the clear vision you expect from your contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

You should experience clear vision when wearing your lenses.However, many things can adversely affect your vision. It could be as simple as poor-fitting lenses, an out-of-date prescription or symptoms of dry eye. It could also be a sign of a more serious problem not related to your contact lenses. You should get clear vision from your contact lenses so always talk to your Optician about any issues you're having with your vision or your contact lenses.
