It is very upsetting and even embarrassing. I don't know what to do and my Dr. keeps insisting that I must have an allergy to something in my environment, but the only thing in my environment that has changed is the introduction of the Acuvue Oayses!

I read about quite a few people who had very serious problems because of these lenses (ulcers even!), so I guess I am luckier than most. You would think that the manufacturer would do something about it (or at least that the doctors would be more aware of the problems), but I guess making money is a larger concern. The issue of making them wear out faster so you buy more is definitely a possibility. The lenses feel perfect the first day, far nicer than any others I have ever had, it's just after a few days that the problems arise. I've switched to using "Aquify" lens cleaner and it helps some. For the week-and-a-half that I was on vacation, I had no problems at all with the lenses. Since then, however, they've become somewhat problematic again. I can usually wear them for a few days, but after half a week, they start turning my eyes pink. I had to wear glasses again today because my eyes felt like they had dried out from the lenses. I do highly recommend the Aquify Long Lasting Comfort Drops. A sample bottle came with my multi-purpose solution and the drops are amazing. They're the closest thing to real tears I have ever used and they were very helpful on the plane. Hopefully your son is okay.

I took one look at your eye and BOOM, that is the exact same way my sons looked! we spent most of the night at the ER with the same problems/symptoms! the oasys lense was a brand reccomended by the Dr. as being better....same thing though...he threw first pair away thinking it was pink eye! next thing he wore the second and Boom....his eye was red and irritated to where he was very sensitive to light....in a whole lot of pain....My poor guy is paying in his room on percoset for pain!! Anyway good info as I have something now to show the Dr!!!! glad you blogged this and hope you have had no more problems! My son is just hoping to go to the old contacs he use to use...never has had problems with htme.....somehow I wonder if they made them to go bad after a few days just so that you will have to purchase them more often! what a rip off!!!!!!

I wear the Oasys lense (In the 1 eye that works). I use Renu No-rub solution, and I haven't had too much of a problem with them. Only when I try to extend the life out to 2-3 months do they start getting scratchy and dry. Hmm.. I wear the Oasys lense (In the 1 eye that works).
