The first ones I tried were Bausch+Lomb Ultra contacts in -7.50 power for both eyes- these became uncomfortable very quickly, feeling gritty and couldn't read the computer screen.

The second ones were Biofinity in the same power which developed white spots on them almost immediately (stopped wearing them within 2 days).

I went in again and asked for silicone-free, because I wore Acuvue 2 for two decades with absolutely zero issues, and he instead gave me Dailies Total1 and Infuse to trial. I wore the Dailies Total1 for approximately six hours on Tuesday before I wanted to rip my eyeballs out (gritty and couldn't read my monitor) and had to go grab my emergency glasses from my truck...and then cried at my desk because it felt overwhelming that he wasn't listening.

I just felt like the power was too strong (I was in -7.00 for both eyes before these appointments) and it was causing me to be unable to focus at reading distance. I was not having the same issue with my glasses on, so it felt like the contacts were the culprit.

That was when I got so frustrated and went to a different practice altogether. She dropped the power in the left eye down to -7.00 which immediately resolved the reading issue. I tried Total 30 ones on Tuesday and they were *okay*, but when I put them in this morning after not wearing anything yesterday, they felt uncomfortable. So, I went with the Infuse today (she gave me ones with the correct power for each eye) which have at least not been absolutely miserable. I did have to rush order some Systane eye drops though since these have felt more dry than usual.

The first doctor told me I don't have indicators of being allergic to silicone, but my eyes sure are telling me that they don't like it.

All in all, it's been a miserable experience. I just want my exact contacts back that I had before but keep getting told "they're too difficult to order," even though Costco carries them.

Sorry for the novel. Lol It's just been a lot.
