consistent issues with ortho k lenses
In the past, I had issues with my lenses not fitting correctly and giving me scratches in my eye. After some time, it was fine and I wore a different pair of lenses again. Last year, for some reason, I got another pair and then another pair. I kept the 'second' and 'third' pair, but I was told that the 'third' pair was better, so I wore those for about a year. Now, for a couple of months, my vision has been uneven and one eye is better than the other. A month or so ago, I noticed that in one eye my vision is better far away but poor up close, and then the other eye has good up-close vision but not far-away vision.
At my last eye doctor appointment, I got tested for glasses and they said my up-close vision was different in one eye, but they didn't say anything about it and I didn't notice it. Now I'm realizing that the eye that has slightly worse up-close vision feels loose when I wear my contact lenses, or like something is in my eye, and I'm concerned that there might be scratches. Should I switch to my second pair of lenses for the time being instead of the ones that are most recent? My eye doctor said I can wear either one of them, except one of them is stronger (I forgot which), or is my up-close vision just bad right now, not from the lenses?
I want to add that I don't think I stored my second lenses correctly. I stored them how I would for a pair that I normally would wear everyday, but I haven't touched them since April of last year. It was stupid of me not to check them. Is it normal to have to change lenses so much? I thought you were supposed to keep them for years.
