    It may take a few minutes once you put them in but for days it may be the wrong prescription. Contacts are fitted no only based on your eye sight prescripts but your eye axis (siz of the eye) If the vision prescript is correct but the axis is off then you won't see clearly. Call you eye doctor and insist on seeing him. If tells you to give it more time call someone else.

    Have you worn glasses before? If this is just a renewed contact lens prescription or you're trying contacts for the first time, then you may need to try a different prescription.

    Contacts not only have a prescription strength but also are measured according to the size and axis of your eye.

    Blurred vision raises a red flag. Contact your optometrist and ask to be re-fitted.

    you need to go back to the eye doctor once you put your lenses in you should see clear right then and there. I have been wearing contact lenses for about 6 years.

    You should not be seeing blurry. When you get new contacts you should see clearly right away. Go back to the eye doctor.

    Go back to the doctor and get a higher prescription if that's no the problem then make sure your cleaning them rite. I've been wearing them for 3 yrs barely last week i got my new prescription and I wasn't seen rite through one eye I went back to the Doc. and she kicked it up a knoch !!!

    Good luck

    You have the wrong lenses. You should be able to see clear as soon as you put them in. You might have the wrong prescription. Go back to your eye Dr. asap.

    as soon as you put them in your eyes go back to the doctor.Are you sure you have the contacts in the correct eyes and did not mix them up

    I'm nearsighted, but I'd say it should have been clear the very first time you put them in.

    I'm not sure what your sight is, I've heard different things for different sight impairments.

    they should be clear now..if they're blurry, it's the wrong prescription...see your doctor.
