The first time you try on contact lenses, it may be\ndifficult and feel a bit uncomfortable. However, after wearing them a few\ntimes, they should feel completely comfortable, as if they are part of your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Contact Lenses for The First Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you decide to wear contact lenses<\/a>, they will be custom fitted to your eye. In Spartanburg, your doctor looks at several unique features like the structure of your eye, your tears and visual acuity to find the best type of lens material, brand and replacement schedule for your eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a contact lens is correctly fitted you shouldn\u2019t feel\nit at all. They are designed to be comfortable and fit snugly. If you do notice\nany burning or irritation when wearing contacts, there may be a bit of debris or\nfiber that has been caught between your eye and the lens. If this should\nhappen, you should rinse the lens in solution and insert again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If irritation continues, you might have a small scratch on\nthe lens in which case you should toss the damaged lens and wear a fresh one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people find their eyes water a lot when they use\ncontact lenses for the first time. It\u2019s not a permanent thing, it\u2019s just your\neyes getting used to the sensation and they will quickly adjust and settle\ndown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, you’ll probably be slightly aware that the lenses\nare there, but they shouldn\u2019t be uncomfortable. This feeling will pass very\nquickly as you get used to the feeling of having the contacts in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people get used to wearing contact lenses very quickly and can even forget that they’re wearing them!
