First Time Hazy Vision

Hi,
I'm a 22 year old female and have had slight vision problems since I was 17. Nothing major; things are just blurry far away without corrective lenses.

About 2 months ago, I got an updated prescription of contacts and glasses. Haven't had any problems until today.

I started getting a sinus infection about two days ago. I put my contacts in this morning and everything was fine until about 2 hours later.. my left eye (which has astigmatism in it) started looking hazy/smoke like and I thought it was my contact but I took it out, put drops in my eyes and it did not go away until about an hour or two after that. I figured okay, I'm going to try and put my contacts back in, so I did so.. an hour later.. same thing.. hazy sight out of my left eye and now I'm having sharp headaches, almost like migraines... could this be a result from my sinus infection??? Thanks

It could be the sinus infection or the medications you take for them. you need to leave the contact lens out and get in touch with the "eye doctor" that fit the contacts and ask for advise.
