Hi, all.

I was a soft-contact lens wearer some years ago, but had to give it up
because my left eye didn't want to tolerate them.

I recently popped in to see my eye guy, and learned of the new Day &
Night lenses. Very exciting.

I tried some dailies for a few days, just to make sure my left eye
wasn't going to be stubborn; and though I could 'feel' the lens a bit
more in the left, I was not bothered.

So I signed up for the Day & Nights, and it was great - for the first 4
nights. A little blurry in the morning, but that cleared up in a few
minutes.

Then, at about 2am on the 5th night, I woke up feeling like someone had
dropped sand or flour in my left eye. I pulled the lenses out, and even
Visine hurt like a S.O.B. at that moment. The irritation passed after
about 15 minutes.

I left them out until morning, and the next day was fine. Today, things
are fine as well.

I'm not sure what to make of this - might my left eye have been
slightly open for awhile while I was asleep? Or could my eye just have
decided to reject the thing - after 5 days and 4 nights?

Perhaps it's a question of not 'pushing it' - maybe 4 nights is the
longest duration I should leave them in for.

I really don't want to abandon the whole premise, unless there's some
danger of permanent damage. I also still don't see why one eye would be
picky and not the other...

Any insights would be appreciated!

Cheers,

DW
