    You got a big problem here. Where is your eye doctor. The first time you put in contacts should be in his office. If you ordered some off of the internet hoping they would work, blurry vision may be the least of your problems.

    I'm 36 and I've been wearing contact mens since I was 15, I love them. I use Acuvue 2 and Oasis is great too. If your blurry, your eyes maybe watering or maybe even dry, your not used to them yet. f should be fine after a short while. I recommend taking regular saline solution (NOT THE CLEANERS) and dropping 3 drops into each eye and closing yur eyes for a few seconds, it very well could help. It always does for me. Since your new to lenses, BE CAREFUL with rubbing your eyes. My lens fold over and go up into my eye. It doesn't hurt, feels like a big air bubble, lol. IF THAT HAPPENS TO YOU, go to the mirror and kind of look at your eye in the mirror while kinda looking up, if you cannot see the lens, move around some, it'll look clear and weird. When you see it, take the lens out and rinse it well with saline before putting it back in your eye. ALSO, ALWAYS make sure there's no hair on lint on your lens when putting them in yur eye, not even the smallest grain because it will make your eye irritated badly. Rinse VERY good with the saline solution ir the Alcon 1 rinse is good too, before inserting lens. They also sell enzyme tablets for cleaning lens. NEVER use them! OMG, they're horrible! I could never get it rinsed off my lens enough no matter how hard I tried and that stuff seriously burns bad. Never use any of the little tablet contact lens cleaners, they're aweful! Alcon Express is excellent. Hope this helps.

    Give it a full week then return to see your doctor for a follow up visit.
