Hard to Fit Contacts

Are you dealing with hard-to-fit contacts? When you go to put them in, perhaps they look curved or feel a bit scratchy even though the lenses are clean. People experience hard-to-fit contact lens issues often, but if they're being clean with their contact lens habits, it usually comes down to the shape of their eye, the brand of the lens, and the longevity of the lens itself. Your eye doctor in Clarksville TN at Sites Vision Clinic can help you identify the culprit of your hard-to-fit contact lenses.

Eye Shape

Some eye shapes fit contact lenses better than others. If you have astigmatism, your eye may be shaped a bit differently than most, and it'll affect the fit of your lens.

Allergies

Allergens are everywhere. Unfortunately, they can get right between your eye and your contact lens through the course of your day. If your eyes are equally itchy and irritated, allergies are the likely culprit. Ask your optometrist in Clarksville TN about treating eye allergies with over-the-counter and prescription medications such as payday. Note that most medications cannot be used while you're actively wearing lenses, so your optometrist may recommend using the drops before bed.

Brand

Not every brand is a good fit for every user of contact lenses. Just like clothing, some brands will fit you better than others. If you're experiencing a bad contact lens fit, it might be time to switch up the brand. Your optometrist can advise you on this.

Longevity and Dry Eye

To ameliorate this problem, consider alternating between contact lenses and glasses, especially if you're spending a lot of time in front of the screen. Use a contact lens-friendly resetting solution, which you can now get from your eye doctor in Clarksville, TN.
