Default Anyone experience this?

I have Waikon Trikolor lenses in Green and have noticed that my eyes get really sensitive whenever I wear them and it's sunny/bright (like white sky in winter) outside. My eyes start to water and it's almost unbearable to the point that I have to close my eyes. I wear clear contacts daily and never experienced this sensitivity before.

Any reasons as to why this is happening?

Thanks!

I went to a website called MedlinePlus and looked up "photophobia" which is a fancy medical term for light sensitivity. When they listed the causes, the first one was "excessive wearing of contact lenses, or wearing badly fitted contact lenses." It also says that if it gets to the point where you have to wear sunglasses indoors, then you need to see a doctor right away.

Could your photophobia be due to one of those things? Did you get those lenses fitted by a doctor, and do you follow directions on when to take them out at night and when to replace them?

Thanks for the quick reply. The reason why I got the Waicons is because they fit my eyeballs perfectly. The base curve is exact and so is the prescription.

I am not sensitive to indoor light and I don't wear them too long. I don't really know why, I'll keep looking into it though. thanks.

When you say you don't wear them "too long," how long do you wear them?

This happens like 15 minutes after I wore them. I wear them 5 hours max. They're yearly lenses and I've had them for 3 months and only wear them occasionally.

Okay, it certainly doesn't sound like your photophobia is from over-wearing your contact lenses. I wonder why you have that sensitivity, then?
