I have contacts and sometimes my vision gets blurry and I have to blink to clear it up. sometimes it happens repeatedly..sometimes I can't clear it in one blink..sometimes I have to massage my eyelid (like the told me in the movie I had to watch when I first got them) to clear my eye sight. does anyone know what's going on? do you get this too? should I tell my optometrist when I visit him on Monday? If someone could help, that would be great.

I think you have astigmatism. No big deal, just have your eye doctor check you for it and maybe have the next batch you get be especially for astigmatism, and perhaps the solution, too.

i have a slight astigmatism so my contacts tend to move in my eye and thing will get blurry until i blink the contact back into place or rub it.

you probably have an astigmatism like me. your contacts are slightly weighted so when you blink they turn well sometimes it doesnt go back to normal so u have to blink a couple times
I have astigmatism too... I don't think it has the connection with the problem.

My current contacts doesn't correct it but my previous ones did and I had more of that, so maybe you are right, but I also wore them more than 8 hours every day.

Nothing to be worried about. You could always try eyedrops. I would definitely bring the issue up with your optometrist, as long as you're seeing them anyway on Monday. Mine do that when they dry up.

Happens to me when I wear them a lot... they dry out...
I preffer wearing glasses because contacts are irritating...

it happens to me sometimes, but i never really thought much of it or bringing it up to the eye doctor. if you wouldn't mind, if you do ask them, forwarding me what they said?? :)

My friend gets that.
Its from where there abit dry. If it does happen just blink.
Or maybe take them out and then put them back in.

That happens with contacts, they dry out and get things blown into them and things like that. It's nothing to be worried about.

You probably just got a particle on your contact.
