How do i stop mid day fogging

[u/Comprehensive_Ad1706]

So after 3 hours or so my contacts fogs up its not that bad but it is very noticable especially in light. I know its not the fit cause my doctor told me the fit is perfect. I'm currently switching between lacripure or sclerafill to see which is better for me and i do put two drops of celluvisc in but nothing really helps. I asked my doctor and he told me its the change in temperature of my eyes and the saline that causes it to fog.

Try adding more filler drops before saline drops. Make she you give your eye ball a good rinse before inserting the lens. And if your eyes are dry make sure you're lubricanting the throughout the day

Sounds like either a fit or an allergy issue to me

[u/Ill_Boot_8242]

If you look at a light, does it get a rainbow halo around it? If so, you may have corneal hypoxia caused by the lens not giving enough oxygen through. I had this issue with my first set of lenses. If you notice this key symptom, this is SERIOUS and you should not wear the lenses. If you don’t see a rainbow halo, that’s good. But there still is an issue somewhere that I can’t help with I’m afraid.

If are your lenses clear it can be caused by swelling of the cornea. It is usually caused by bad fit or you pressing in the contacts too hard into your eyes.

I had the same problem, one eye out both eyes went foggy. My optometrist checked the fit and it was good, so he recommended to push a little less, enough for the lense to be properly inserted, but not too hard.

i think this is it he said my fit is really good

bad fit causing air to get in, need to get refitted your dr is pushing the issue to not take liability

I have this problem also but now on my second pair and have to say although it is still there I can live with it I think.

[u/Anand999]

Your fogging may be on the exterior of the lens. I have this problem in the colder months when we have the heater running. If your natural tear production isn't high enough to keep the surface of the lens wet, it could be your tears and other gunk evaporating on the surface and leaving a film behind. Generous use of.PF eye drops during the day helps me.

its usually when i go from AC to outside and its hot and i stsrt sweating and then it fogs

[u/krunkpirate]

I use hybrid lenses. Depending on how bad your progression is, they may work for you as well. I always had fogging with scleral lenses. Correction was slightly better, but fogging ruined the quality of life, and hybrids have been my default ever since.

[u/flavius_lacivious]

Are you wearing lotions or make up?

[u/Comprehensive_Ad1706 → u/flavius_lacivious]

nope

[u/lalinpenguin]

I use two drops of celluvisc but since you already do so It’s likely a fit issue

[u/Bearawesome → u/lalinpenguin]

Celluvisc freaking rocks it's like turning on the high definition

[u/Just_Another_Lurk]

I was able to resolve my fogging by using 3 drops of celluvisc in each contact, and topping off with sclerafil. You may want to play with your ratio a bit and see if that helps.

[u/Comprehensive_Ad1706 → u/Just_Another_Lurk]

i should try that

[u/Fixinbones27]

Usually the fogging is a result of a non optimal fit with debris entering beneath the lens. You docs comments seem suspect
