Do Flouroperm 30 make your eyes look puffy and swollen? Is that real or just some kind of illusion?

Default puffiness...

This is a reply to your concern of puffiness with your Flouroperm 30 lenses.
Perhaps it is the solutions you are using, one thing I discovered was that
the Boston advanced cleaner is great but the Boston conditioning solution
was irritating my eyes. Many currant lens solutions (even those claiming
to be for sensitive eyes) have an ingredient by the name of Chlorhexidine
as a preservative. It seems to be a "catch 22" situation, because the
Boston conditioner has a wonderful ingredient -Polyvinyl Alcohol, which
has been used for many years to cushion the lens. Other solutions use
a cellulose compound which does not cushion as well, and oddly the initial
insertion of a RGP lens affects the comfort all day long. The Chlorhexidine
after two or so days, makes my eyes red, itchy and dry, making lens
wear difficult. My best solution is one that you can purchase from WALMART.
It is the Equate RGP solution (actually made by Lobob for them). Well, the
best of luck, I don't think it is the lens because I am sensitive and can wear
them for hours and my eyes never even become red.....

Thank you for your great answer, richard1953. Are you new around here? If so, I welcome you and invite you to explore the sunglasses and eyeglasses sections here on Lens 101. They could use some help there. It seems that everyone who has come here lately to answer questions and they all go to the contact lens section.
If you're not new here--I welcome you anyway.

"Momin8er." I love that name! Welcome to Lens 101.

So you've got the puffy eye thing going on? Perhaps you can tell AmigaBonita that your puffy eyes are not some kind of illusion. Let us know if you find anything that helps. What about one of those creams that claim to reduce puffiness around the eyes?

I simply did a Google search and found a website that compares several brands of eye cream and the one they like best is something called "Deravera." They rate it as "Excellent" for its formulation to diminish dark circles, reduce puffiness, decrease "crow's feet," "Improve under eye circulation and hydration," and that it's proven clinically and independently to actually work.

Mind you, it hasn't been rated for its ability to do these things, only that it's formulated to do them.

All this can be yours for only $67 for a half-ounce bottle. Call now!

It's highly unlikely to be a solution problem. I have fit RGP lenses for many years and the most likely source of the problem is the material itself. For a rigid material, it's rather soft and flexes when you blink if it's made too thin. The thicker lens designs impact the eyelids much more when you blink causing the puffy swollen problem. Many people adapt and the problem disappers, if not, switch to a different lens material.

You may be right about the lens material, but richard1953 said "one thing I discovered was that the Boston advanced cleaner is great but the Boston conditioning solution was irritating my eyes." So he's speaking from personal experience when he says that the contact lens solution was irritating.

The irritation people experience with solutions is usually on the surface of the eye and does not normally involve the eyelids. RGPs with thick or badly polished edges are what cause the eyelid problem 9/10 times.

Yup. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get people to come on this site and talk about why a person's eyes may be swollen after wearing Fluorperm 30 contact lenses. They're gas permeable, or "hard" lenses, so maybe that's got something to do with it. Anybody know?

Could be an allergic reaction to something, maybe the cleaning solution.

"Sometimes allergies can cause other eye symptoms such as swelling, redness, wateriness and puffy eyelids, for which OTC eye drops also may be useful."

Didn't you just say "the thicker lens designs impact the eyelids much more when you blink causing the puffy swollen problem"? Did I miss a piece of the puzzle?

In most cases I've seen (but not all), I usually hear about redness, itch or burning, excess tearing, light sensitivity and occasionally swelling of eyelids. If there is just swelling of eyelids, it's usually the interaction of lids and lens.

Rot . . . ? Oh, I get it. "Rot cheer" is another way of saying "right here." Sometimes when people say "right here" it sounds like they're saying "rot cheer." Clever.
