is it ok if you can feel your contact lenses on your eyes?

it might be that they are dry. however, if you feel it in one eye, it might be that you have them backwards.

Yes it is normal for you to feel your lenses for the first week or so. As long as there is no pain. after your corneas become a little desensitized you should not feel them unless something is wrong (torn lens, dirty lens, foreign body, cornea problem etc) Dryness generally happens towards the end of the day. it gives the feeling like you can't wait to take your lenses out. It will be very hard for you to tell if you are experiencing dryness until you are completely adjusted to your lenses. As long as the comfort is getting a little better each day you're on the right track. as far as activities with contacts, yes you can do most things in them EXCEPT- you do not ever want your contacts to come in contact with water. tap water, pool water, hot tub water, lake water, etc..even your saliva have bacteria and parasites that can cause infection. acanthamoeba is a parasite present in water that causes a serious, sight threatening infection that is very difficult to treat. most patients with acanthomoeba end up needing a corneal transplant.
