Is there something wrong with my right eye?

There has been a pattern with my last two contact lenses for the right eye. The last right contact before the one I have on now felt like it was gonna slice my eye in half because of a tear in it, or possibly allergies. This one in my eye right now was great for about 4 weeks, but now keeps fogging up for some reason. Do I have some bad right contact lenses or is there really a problem with my right eye?

Update:

I should've mentioned before that the optometrist I saw said these contacts are good for two months.

Update 2:

Yet another thing I should've mentioned is the fact that the lens before the one I have now was okay when I first put it in my eye, but then got worse, and I'm not entirely sure if there was really a tear in it because I really couldn't see one in the lens.

    The problem is that you shouldn't be wearing the same contact lenses for 4 weeks. The contacts that approved for monthly replacement are meant to be taken out and cleaned every night. Wearing the lenses 24/7 and not replacing it when you were told to can cause the lens to become blurry due to protein deposits and degradation of the lens surface from being old and overused. Your first lens you said had a tear in it so obviously that is why that one hurt.

    Wear your contacts as they are intended and approved by the FDA and your prescrbing doctor and you will not have these problems
