I think I posted this in the wrong forum. Recently I have been having problems with my contact lenses and it strikes me as odd since I have been a contact lens user for ten years during which time I experienced little to no problems. I have had symptoms such as dry eye, redness, blurriness, eye pain, vision changes, etc. I originally thought I was having these problems because of a minor chemical exposure to my eyes. We had a spill at work and even though nothing slashed or spilled into my eye I thought it was a reaction due to that. I promptly got checked out by my optometrist. He did a full checkup and found nothing, not even minor irritation. He suggested that it was a problem with my contact lenses. We have tried two different types of contacts and although my eyes do feel better I am still experiencing some of the symptoms I had before. All in all he has checked me out a total of three times over the past month and has not found anything wrong. The OD assured me that my eyes were fine and that I didn't have any injuries or eye diseases such as Glaucoma etc. He did not even suggest that I rest my eyes and stop wearing my contacts. I took it upon myself to stop wearing them for four days. It seems to have had a positive effect as most of the symptoms I was experiencing went away but some (not all) came back once I started wearing them again. I have tried two new contact lens and I still have the most success and comfort with my old contacts so it does not seem like these different contacts are helping. I am thinking of switching to the one a day contact lens AKA daily disposable to see if this finally solves this mystery. Up until now I have been using a two week contact lens. Do you think making the switch to the daily disposable contacts will put an end to this problem? or 2 Should I escalate the situation and make an appointment to see an Ophthalmologist? 3. Can an Ophthalmologist find something in a test that an optometrist can't? Thank you and God Bless.
