Apparantly, the sizes were slightly different?
Anyway--if they continue to bug you, first make sure that you didn't put it in inside out (they hurt and try to pop out of your eyes when you do that!) and if that's not the problem, I'd talk to your doc and see about trying out another brand.
I think its just me to be truthfull lol.They are the acuvues by the way :) .

Holy molly :eek: ,here i am complaining about a hundred bucks :P
Re: No more glasses for me!!
my eyesight is really terrible, so my optometrist prescribed rigid gas permeable contact lenses when i was eleven-[ i've had glasses since i was four] they hurt a LOT, and felt wayy unnatural and uncomfortable. i'm back in glasses and take much better care of my eyes now, but i think i'll need laser surgery eventually.
Re: No more glasses for me!!
Double check your contact lens solution btw. There was a recent recall on a particular brand (I dunno what brand though), and it was making it much harder for a lot of people to wear their contacts.
I'm an ex contact lens wearer myself. My eyes are just to dry these days for me to be able to wear contacts for very long.
Re: No more glasses for me!!
I wear contacts and Acuvues were way to dry for me. I told my eye doctor and he switched me over to a brand called Pro Clear. They are for people with dry eyes. I love my contacts.

I'm sure that your ophthalmologist knows about the recalls on any contact lens products and wouldn't give you something that was recalled.
In May, Complete MoisturePlus, (by Advanced Medical Optics) was recalled and it was over a year ago that Bauch and Lomb recalled ReNu with MoistureLoc. I haven't heard of another brand causing issues recently. But anything that came out in May as a recall should be off shelves by now anyway, I should think :)
Re: No more glasses for me!!
The only lenses that don't really bother me are my Bio Medics... Acuvues were definately not for me.
