    You could have a bad batch just go back to your Optician and they should replace them for you

    I first got contact lenses about 12 years ago with Vision Express. I was initially using Proclear but I wasn't all that happy with them sometimes as I felt they weren't comfortable when I put them in. After about a year I switched to Vision Express's "Enhance" own-brand because the Proclears were going up in price and I couldn't afford them. I've been using the Enhance ever since and I've never had any problems awith them, even though they're a fair bit cheaper than Proclears. If I was you, I'd change brands.

    The proclear lenses have a lot of water in them, this makes them a little bit more fragile and some people have problems with the handling of them. Go back to your optometrist and have a chat with them, you should be able to change to a different type of contact lens.

    You might have put them in a wrong way,The way I can tell whether they have upside down or not is you can tell they are the right way if the curve is shaped right,if they are upside down,the shape,as you hold it on your finger,will kind of flare out on the edges.
    I hope this helps! Good Luck!! :)
