Default Why Is It?????

Noticed this strange occurrence the last few times that I put in a brand new pair of FreshLook Colors contacts. After wearing the same pair for probably close to a month (only supposed to wear them for 2 weeks), I will put the "old ones" in the lens graveyard with the rest and put the new ones in my eyes.
Problem is, that they are immediately uncomfortable and somewhat blurry. This strange occurence will last for hours until they finally adjust themselves and I can then see normally. But WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN????????????????????????
Anyone care to enlighten me???

It should not happen, well I never wore colored ones but did you clean them when taking them out of the pack the first time? I know if I don't do that they sting a bit but thats for my clear ones.

Allow me this opportunity to point out the obvious. This has probably already occurred to you, but let me just say it and get it out of the way. Could your discomfort with "pair B" have anything to do with your wearing "pair A" too long?

Your eyes were probably suffering from a lack of oxygen or something from over wearing the first pair, and then you put in a new pair before your eyes had a chance to recover. So to prevent this in the future you should put your contacts in the "graveyard" after the prescribed two weeks and no more, and give your eyes a rest before putting in a new pair of contacts. Does that sound reasonable?
