So I decided to try some reduced contacts. I know that there’s trouble in that you can’t remove them continually, but they have some benefits in that they’re lightweight and at least they don’t limit your peripheral vision with a frame edge.
However, I feel like the curvature of my eye is fluctuating a lot and the contacts don’t continue to fit. They fit well for two days, but at some point I was getting air bubble under them and they would not stay.
Nobody believes that the curvature of my eye can change so quickly. I can feel it though, over the course of a few weeks. Sometimes they’re hard and bulging (generally when I get too stressed). I get some rest, take a shower, and do the eye chart, they shrink and they feel softer (at least to my perception). I shrank my left eye dramatically at one point (see post, the incredible shrinking eye) by using an eye bag. I had a sinus problem at the time so the heat made that feel better, but afterwards my left eye was sore (in a nice way) and much softer.
My eyes also feel harder after wearing the contacts and they feel a bit dry.
Any insight into this? I’m curious.
