Why Is One Eye Contact Lense Blurry All The Time?

I’ve worn contacts on and off since 1987. I have astigmatism and need to wear Toric lenses. After several years of wearing just glasses, I decided to go with contacts again. Both my eyes have the same prescription and the astigmatism is not overly abnormal. When I wore trial contacts, my left eye was fine but my right was blurry (even after several days). I went back to the eye doctor and found out that the prescription for the right eye had to be toned down a bit (this was done by wearing contacts and rechecking vision). When I wore the revised prescription, the right eye still remains blurry even after several days. The optometrist seems to think this is normal, but it is driving me nuts. Even the monitor at work is blurry when looked through just the right eye. These are supposed to be the new silicone hydrogel contacts. What to do?

Do I Have To Go Back To The Doctor Every Time I Try New Contacts ?

So, i just got my contact lenses from my family eye doctor …
i think i did pretty good considering putting them on and off ,
plus i’ve read almost EVERY info. i could find on the internet about taking care of lenses etc …
my doctor gave me a 2 week free trial of Air-Optic for Astigmatism.
i dont really like them … maybe is just im not use to wearing contacts
BUT anyway ~ i would like to try some other brands and some colored contacts such as Acuvue, GEO, FreshLook, etc etc .
although my parents said ive to go to the doctor’s office to re-fit them when ever i try on new lenses … im not sure if they are right or what so ever,cuz i thought as long as you have your right prescription and stuff you could juz order them off on-line or in store as long as its legit ?
also another question can i just wear soft lenses instead of those special Astigmatism ?? and what’s your favorite brand ??

Has Anyone Ever Heard Of Wearing Contacts And Glasses At The Same Time?

My eye doctor is suggesting I wear my contacts for seeing distance and mid range then putting on glasses for close reading or computer work.

First Time For Contacts.. I Have A Lot Of Questions?

I have an appointment Thursday at 4 to get my eyes “fitted” for contacts.
I have astigmatism, and I am nearsighted. I also am prone to allergies, so sometimes my eyes get dry.
What contacts would you suggest? I would like a reasonable price, but good quality. I definitely want either breathable or ones that keep your eyes from drying out.
What is the best contact solution?
How long do you wear them at first before you replace them, if they are disposable?
Do you have to take them out before using eyedrops?
Feel free to be as detailed as possible with your answer, or if you have any tips or advice, please share.
