When I developed hayfever in my 40s, I began noticing a "film" forming on my rigid gas permeable lenses, often immediately after insertion, and would need to clean them several times a day to remove the film. Medication to alleviate the hayfever symptoms during allergy season eliminated development of the film on my gas permeable contact lenses. Perhaps this explains the problem you are experiencing if there is nothing wrong with the lenses themselves.

If not done so the lense will leave protein deposits and other elements which could be problematic to the eyes.
