I just got a new prescription and switched from glasses to contacts?

How long should it take me to adjust to the new prescription and do you have any tips for me on wearing contacts? I have an astigmatism so my contacts are the ones with the directional marks on them.

Not sure if I was clear, the contacts are comfortable, it's the prescription I'm worried about. I feel like everything is a little blurry

Is this the first trial pair of toric contact lenses that your eye dr has given you? If so, it can take a few tries before you get the prescription and fit just right. If they feel good then, you've won half the battle. Sometimes, it can take up to a week to adjust to a new prescription...usually after a few days you can tell if the new prescription is gonna work. Your eye doctor should have scheduled a visit for about a week after he/she first gave you the trial lenses. Contacts to correct an astigmatism (toric) aren't always a perfect fit the first time. Be patient, it will work out!

i sure do love contacts!!!

Oh it will probably take about a week or two to get fully used to having them in. Just make sure to keep them clean.
