Many times when i wear my contacts, i begin to experience eye strain.?

the pain (or discomfort) is usually around the eye or behind. its difficult to explain the feeling,but its uncomfortable. the minute i take out my contacts and wear my glasses, its fine. then there are days wearing my contacts where its fine...no discomfort at all. What is going on? it literally happens at different/random times. it doesnt have to do with computer use. it can just simply be walking around..any ideas please?

It could be that you may have been over-refracted.. meaning your prescription for contacts are either too strong or too weak.

Go back to you optometrist and tell them about your symptoms and problem. They will probably get another refraction reading and give you new trials (this is usually free after you comeback less than a month from your first appointment in most offices)

Notice that both your glasses Rx and contacts Rx are different, it's usually not the same powers.

did you just get them? if so your eyes might just be trying to get used to the idea of them... i had that problem. if not you might have the wrong percription
