New To Using Contacts & They Irritate My Eyes?

Hi okay so I have really bad eye vision I have astigmatism so I see everything very blurry I went to my eye doctor today at noon & he gave me a free pair of contact lenses just to try for 3 days to see if they work, & I got home & tried to put them on but I couldn’t I have never worn contacts before only glasses & so that is why I was having a hard time, my eyes can’t take it anymore they are really hurting since I keep trying to put them in, okay well 6 hours role by & I have been trying to put them in & finally I get them in & trust me it wasn’t easy lol well anyway I have them on now & my eyes just are hurting like crazy & they are irritating me & the light just makes it worse although I can see way better & I like them it just is really irritating
What can it be? Is it because I am not used to it that is why it’s irritating me or is it because I have been trying to do it for 6 hours straight? Or could it be something else?
Thanks guys

Are There Any One Using Toric Contacts And Feeling Totally Comfortable Without Any Blurriness Or Out Of Focus?

when used for long hrs for reading the computer.Please give suggestions what type of contact lens should be considered.
My Prescription is below:
Sphere Cylinder Axis
OD -1.50 +1.00 013
OS -1.75 +1.75 155
I was trying for toric contacts and tried
1.accuvue advance for astigmatism(rotating and not convenient too big for my eye it seems)
2.vertex toric
3.soflens66 toric
4.biomedics toric
and now 5.purevision torics( BC 8.7 Dia 14.0mm)
the problem is when I focus on the objects, I feel blurred for a sec and again the vision comes back but its happening very frequently.
And also when reading on the computer and in the air-conditioner , I feel more discomfort with the lens.May be because of the lens rotation.
If they are toric lens users who feel good using them ,any Suggestions on these.Is it better to leave the lens and go for glasses.Serious answers are appreciated.Toric Lens users PLEASE ADVICE.

Does Anyone Else Have A Astigmatism? Do You Find Using Contacts To Help Your Vision Better?

I have an astigmatism, and I find I see better with my glasses. But I still occaissonally wear my contacts, just not when I am driving long distances as I find my eyes get tired faster when I’m wearing my contacts.

I Want To Order Eyeglasses Online Using My Contact Prescription, Help?

I need to order a cheap pair of eyeglasses online and when I need to fill in my prescription, one of the options confuses me, and i DO NOT want to get this wrong.
Heres the website…

Here is what I’m basing my prescription off of…
http://hdimage.org/viewer.php?file=5hpzyk3v65r3cf5zzoe_1650.jpg
Now if you look at the page you see…
OD-SPH OD-CYL OD-AXIS OD-ADD
When i fill in my info from my contact lens I get….
http://hdimage.org/viewer.php?file=b5b290eezs3edeuxav_untitled.jpg
What I don’t understand is what OD-ADD is, I don’t see anything else on my contact lens that can be used to fill it in. Also, my left eye contact lens (non astigmatism) doesn’t have the CYL or AXIS numbers. Are these for astigmatisms only?

Using 2 Weeks Contacts 2 Months?

I have the Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism.. the doctor told me they would last 2 weeks if used every day. And abother a month if used only a few times….
I have had these for about 2 months, maybe a little more.. and used them no more than 5 times (IF THAT).
Will it be ok to ware them one more time tomorrow, because i have a sporting activity… and that is all i use them for.
I have taken care of them always and always take them out when done using them, and wash of course…
Will using them one more times make my eye hurt, or give a high chance of infection?
Please answer ASAP i need to know by tomorrow morning 10 AM!

Toric And Astigmatism Contacts Just Drive Me Insane; Will Using A Stronger Power Of Normal Contacts Suffice?

I am planning a major trip this summer and I want to see… I have loved Acuvue Advance but my right eye isn’t seeing too well. My new doctor is trying to convince me to go to torics. I’ve tried aspheric and Acuvue for Astigmatism and didn’t yield much success vision wise. The Torics are driving me insane comfort wise, and I’m sick of my doctor disregarding my concerns and simply tweaking the power of the lens. I’m not a doctor, so I need some help… Will using a standard contact with a higher power (such as Acuvue Advance, the one brand that seems to feel comfortable) help my vision? Any optician-insight I can use to explain to my doctor without sounding stupid? Because right now, I can’t see that great with the Torics, and as we speak, I’m dealing with a red, stinging eye after only 8 hours of use. Basically—is there a way around Torics? If not, any suggestions on how to reason with my doctor? I’m sick of not being able to see, but being uncomfortable is just ridiculous.
