Do you have trouble with blurred vision when you first put your Boston ES contacts in? Aren't gas permeable contacts supposed to give you really crisp vision?

Whenever I receive a replacement lens I always "double clean" it and soak
it for 2 hours or so. The reason that the vision is smeared is due to the fact
that the lens still has some "polishing compound" residue on it and may
give blurred vision as well as be uncomfortable. There are some labs that
"Plasma " treat the lens which makes the lens more water-loving and
comfortable, these lenses are shipped in fluid filled vials and never have the
reside issue. These often come from labs which charge more but the cost is
worth it, as you know they are made with quality in mind...
