Of course the purpose of wearing the contacts is clear vision. Sometimes, if you have been ';living in the fog'; for awhile, seeing clearly can be a little disconcerting. However, getting headaches from wearing contacts is less likely than getting headaches from a new pair of glasses due to the minimal effect on magnification that contacts have on most prescriptions.
If the headaches continue, especially after prolonged near use, then your contacts may be ';overminused,'; which will still allow you to see clearly for distance viewing, but takes extra effort to focus at all distances, especially up close. This leads to extreme eye fatigue and can cause headaches.
Although ';more power'; in your contact prescription often sounds like the best solution when you feel that your eyesight is terrible, you don't want too much or too little. My three year old son thinks that if he gets bigger shoes he will run faster. The explanation for both problems is similar . . .
Go back to your eye doctor for a recheck on your power if the headaches continue for more than a week.
If no headaches, then just enjoy your excellent vision. Many people are unable to obtain such clear vision despite refractive or surgical remedies. Be happy!Are new contacts suppost to be so clear?
wait, is it a bad thing that their clear? if you got a diffrent kind of contacts it might be causing your headache. i just got new contacts this morning too, and their stronger and clearer but i have no side affects. check to see if their your right prescription.
Maybe you didn't remove the proteins in the olds ones,anyway 4 years is a lot of time for using the same pair!!. You have to replace them every 2 years as much.
And you can have your new contacts confortable using every day a cleaner (the best is POLICLEANS II,Alcon) and removing the proteins every week.
The headhache could be for the change in your dioptrias. Will pass with the days.
They are supposed to be so clear. You get much clearer visual acuity from a contact than from glasses, because the contact lens rides right on the cornea and gives you great peripheral as well as central vision. Changing your contacts every once in a while helps things clear as well.
The headache is most likely you getting used to the new Rx not so much the contact lenses. New contact lenses are made with much thinner and more breathable materials so they will appear clearer. However it is more than likely a large Rx change so now you see sharper. I would suggest removing them for the night and start again in the morning. You most likely wont receive a headache tomorrow.
If you got a new prescription, you just might be seeing clearly!
Also your old contacts might have been full of deposits or needed throwing out, anyway!
