Film on Gas Permeable Contact Lenses

I am a long-time gas permeable contact lens wearer. I began having problems with films developing on my lenses several months ago. Thinking this was because the lenses were getting old, I went in to be fitted for a new pair. This was a new doctor and I had no record of the exact prescription of the old lenses. Unfortunately, the new lenses never gave me clear vision. A film again seemed to develop on the lenses within 30 seconds of inserting them. Office sent the lenses back to manufacturer to be sure there was nothing on the lenses causing the film. They assured us that there was not. I went back to pick up the lenses this morning and I am still having trouble with filming.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks Read The Answer To Film on Gas Permeable Contact Lenses

High Astigmatism And Contact Lenses

What tips do you have for someone with really bad astigmatism and the high prescription, who wants to wear contact lenses

This is a great question. Too many times, people are told they cannot
wear contact lenses because they have astigmatism. There are two
reasons why someone might be told that.

One reason is that the person that told them that did not know the
contact lenses can correct astigmatism. And if it was an eye care
provider, they have no business telling anybody that, because it's
false.
