I went for a routine eye exam in order to get new contacts. There was a big change in one eye from 1 year ago, from a 5.0 to a 3 something, with an increase in the astigmatism. The doctor seemed concerned & I am to go back in a week. I have been sleeping in my contacts (Oasys) for over a year, but I have to admit I was not taking them out as often as I should & leaving them in longer than 2 weeks.
Could this cause a change in my lens strength needs? Why only one eye? Are there other problems that can cause a big change so quickly like this?
