Contact Lens Discomfort

How to Manage Contact Lens Discomfort

Wearing contact lenses is supposed to be comfortable. However, if you don't feel like your contact lenses fit correctly or feel like there may be something caught in your eye, the fit or brand of your lenses may probably the problem. Family Vision Center LLC, which serves Stratford and Bridgeport, CT, offers treatment for contact lens discomfort. Our eye doctors can help you identify the cause of your discomfort and provide solutions that will maximize your experience.

How to Recognize Contact Lens Discomfort

Often, uncomfortable contact lenses feel like something is stuck in your eye. In other cases, you might feel like your eyes are very dry or itchy. Wearing contact lenses should not feel like a daily annoyance. Instead, they should sit comfortably in your eyes. Be sure to inform your eye care practitioner about your discomfort so that they can examine your eyes and the lenses thoroughly.

Contact Lens Cleaning

If you are experiencing eye discomfort when wearing contacts, the first thing you should do is clean your lenses. Rinse the contact lens with a bit of cleaning solution, and then let your eyes rest without the contacts for a day. If the discomfort persists, contact your eye doctor to rule out an infection such as pink eye.

Change Out Contact Lenses

If cleaning your lenses does not provide relief, you should think about how long you have been wearing your current pair. Do you notice any tears or imperfections on the surface of your lens? Try changing out the contact lens for a newer one to see if that's the cause of the eye discomfort.

Consider Contact Lens Replacement

Finally, it might be time to get a different type of contact lens if the other options do not work. Our optometrists can provide a thorough assessment of your eyes to determine if a different brand or style of lens is better. Then, we will confirm that these new lenses work in your eyes and that you do not experience any eye-related issues.
