Don't talk if you don't know anything. I just got diagnosed with the same thing a month ago. I'd been having trouble with my contacts for about two months, but I thought it was just because they were old or something. It's called contact lens conjunctivitis. Look it up. It's usually curable but it takes a while. I've been using eye drops for a month and I know my eyes are getting better, but I don't think they're fully cured yet.

she didn't say the allergy was caused by the wrong perscription, if you were really a doctor, you'd know how to read. she said the the diagnosis wouldn't have been such a big deal to her if she hand't already paid for a year's worth of new lenses and her visit to get her new prescription. jackass.

No, actually contact allergies are entirely possible. I'm allergic to multiple types of contacts. I have a severe latex allergy and also react to certain forms of silicone and such, though I'm not sure if that is what causes it or not. Within about 20 minutes of putting them in my eyes will fill with goop and swell shut. One of the new Acuvue ones was really terrible - it was either Oasys or Advanced. To the poster: try an older brand rather than the new ones. The only ones I've had luck with are Acuvue 2. If you haven't opened the boxes for the ones you already bought, you should be able to return them.

Actually there's many illness' related to contact lenses - try and perhaps use something as simple as google or wiki before proving you're retarded. Remember a very important saying "It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Problem with that... according to my optometrist, Acuvue is discontinuing Acuvue 2. As soon as they can make colored Oasis, they're stopping it.
