Is These Any Way To Prevent The Contact Lenses From Ripping Easily?

My contact lenses are Bauch and Lomb because I have astigmatism. They are suppose to last up to 2 weeks, but they rip like after 4 days, starting from like the middle. Am I doing something wrong? or do contacts just rip very ezily…?
It could be a handling issue…but I would advise you go back to your ophthalmologist/optician and get a contact lens check done. Sometimes lens deterioration can be caused by inadequate tear quality (an imbalance of the level of water, oil, and mucus, which form your tear lining) If you have an imbalance in your tear quality the lens could be drying out quicker on your eye during wearing hours. This could lead to the lens deterioration.
Another good astigmatic bi-monthly lens is by Acuvue/Johnson and Johnson.
Go and see your supplier.
It could be a defective box. Or if it happens all the time maybe you aren’t keeping them in enough solution? Or not handling them with enough solution on them. I’ve had that happen before, but my contacts usually don’t start to tear until I’ve warn them at least a week and they are supposed to last two.
I don’t think they should rip that easily, especially if they are supposed to last two weeks and you are being careful with them.
as your eye doctor..or who ever prescribed you those contacts…maybe its the way you handle them or the brand of the contacts.. i have astigmatism on my left eye….but yet i still have the same contacts from 3 months ago…
