prescription too strong?
by jodi579, Jul 09, 2008 04:48PM
I was give a new presciption after 7 years of wearing the same old one when i was 10. i am now 18 and decided to get my new prescription through contacts for the first time. i dont know if it is all the drastic changes but when i wear my new contacts i start to get a headache because it seems too strong. strangely enough, when i wear the contacts for a few days they are ok. everytime i put in new ones from the package, my head hurts again. (the pain is around the temporal lobe. if that helps at all?) adding to the problems, i appear to have "dry eyes" and when i take out my contacts it feels like i am dragging off my pupil. to compensate, i squirt a little multi purpose saline solution so it slides out easier. so my questions: is my prescription ok? and are all the symptoms normal? what should i do to rectify the problems? thank you!
