Lasik Eye Correction

Eye problems...?

I wear monthly contacts. I was just putting in new ones about an hour ago when the left contact realy was irratating me. Usually when i put both contacts in they will bother me for say 5 minutes and then my eyes will adjust but this lasted for about a half an hour. My right contact is perfectly fine and i just put in a completely new contact in my left eye which now seems to be fine as well. I still have a little ache in my left eye from the ordeal. I use Night and Day monthly contacts and Opti Free Replinesh solution. I was just wondering if anyone knew what was wrong. Could it be that there can be some bad contacts in a batch, or does anyone know if Opti Free has been recalled ( i know that the other two contact solutions i have used in the past were recalled because of bacteria), in short is there anything for me to be concerned about. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this i appreciate it.

1. Is it possible you had something on your hands while you were changing your contacts? Have you used the monthlies long? Maybe you are having a reaction to them. I wouldnt worry as long ar it doesnt reoccur.
2. You're freaking out a bit prematurely. This kind of irration could be from tiny particles on your contact, etc. When you wake in the morning, if your eye is still irritated, then be concerned and see an eye doctor.
3. I had the same problem all it is is maybe an illergic reaction or your eyes arnt used to it go to your doctor and ask for your old ones back
4. I also have contact lenses. I'm guessing you might have astigmatism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Astigmatism_text_blur.png Usually when people have astigmatism their eye is very irritated. Or it's possibly that you might just need to rub your contacts when you are cleansing them. I suggest that you should go get your eye's checked. I have used Opti Free and there was nothing wrong with it. I'm guessing that it might just be the kind of contact brand that you are using. I think you should switch. Edit: Well, one morning i woke up, put on FRESH new contacts and i went to school. When i left for school in 3rd period my eye's were very irritated I decided to go to the bathroom. I took out my contacts and figure out that they had broken. I'm guessing that it was just one of those bad contacts in the bunch. It's not worth your money to buy packs of them when one of your monthly contacts is not working out. Talk to your eye doctor and tell what happened.
5. As an eye care professional, I have had complaints like this before. It could have been something on your hand(always be extremely sanitary yo avoid eye infections) or a defective lens(they do occasionally surface and your Dr. will compensate you for the lens if you bring it to the office). Opti-Free hasn't been recalled either.
