It is generally not difficult to wear contact lenses. Following your doctor’s advice and regular follow-up care will prevent most problems.

However, here is a list of some signs that things may not be going well. If you experience any of these, contact your optometrist as soon as possible.

• Blurred or fuzzy vision, especially of sudden onset.
• Red, irritated eyes.
• Uncomfortable lenses.
• Pain in and around the eyes.
