They usually are.
You didn't mention pain, and I'd expect some, if you lost a serious amount
of epithelium.
It's possible there's a temporary dimple in your visual axis, or temporary
change in curvature, but abrasions that bad are usually painful, red, and
sensitive to light.
And soft contacts usually smooth over those irregularities, so decreased
vision is more noticable in glasses.
Another possibility is inflammation from poor or slow healing. If the
epithelium doesn't close right back up, germs and metabolites and foreign
stuff leaks into the cornea and stimulates clouds of white blood cells that
make your vision hazy. With glasses OR contacts.
Bottom line, you should be leaving the contact out. If your vision is normal
with glasses, give it some time.
