I have never been one of those people who is overly concerned about my looks, but when it came time to decide whether or not to get glasses, I was mildly concerned about looking like a nerd. I didn't want to appear pretentious or weak, but I knew that I had to do something to fix my vision. I had struggled with eye problems for years, and I wanted to be able to see without squinting. After meeting with my optometrist, I realized that I was worried for no reason. I have been able to enjoy better vision because of my glasses, and I know that you can improve yours, too.

Soft contact lenses are one of the most popular types of vision correction methods. These lenses are made from thin silicone which sits comfortably on the eye to change the way light refracts within your pupil. Contact lenses should allow you to have a clear view of the world around you. Unfortunately, you may at times experience problems with your contact lenses. Blurred vision or a feeling of discomfort in your eyes is always a cause for concern. Here are three possible causes for these symptoms:
1. Your contact lenses are dirty.
Eye care is always important, but it is especially crucial for contact lens wearers. Dirty contact lenses make you more likely to develop an eye infection, which could permanently damage your vision. Blurry vision is sometimes caused by protein deposits on your contact lenses. To prevent protein buildup, use a contact lens cleaner every night. Disinfect your lenses according to the manufacturer's directions. Make sure to thoroughly rub your contact lenses clean to remove stuck protein deposits.
2. Your contact lenses are damaged.
Contact lenses are very fragile, and they can be easily damaged. Careless handling can lead to rips and tears that you may experience as a sensation of having something in your eye. Remove your contacts immediately at the first sign of any discomfort and carefully examine them for signs of damage. In rare cases, individual contact lenses may be defective through manufacturer error. If your problems persist despite the lack of visible damage to your contact lens, throw it away and use a new pair of contacts.
3. You have an eye infection.
If you've tried cleaning your contact lenses and putting on a new pair but your problems still persist, the problem might be your eyes. Eye infections can make wearing contact lenses uncomfortable. There are often physical signs of an eye infection, such as redness in your corneas or unusual secretions in your eyes. Styes can also cause discomfort. Styes are blocked pores which lead to a hard, painful bump.
If you believe you have an eye infection, you must visit an eye doctor right away. Make an appointment at an eye care clinic and submit to an examination. An eye doctor will examine your eyes and test your eye secretions for signs of infection. The proper treatment will depend on the infection present. Some ailments, like conjunctivitis and styes, will go away on their own. Other infections require antibiotic medication. Do not wear your contacts until your eye infection has completely healed.
