I went for my usual eye exam in January. I got my new rx for glasses and contacts. All is good. My left eye got red and mildly itchy no gunk and never crusted over on 3/19. It stayed red only in the corner for 10 days. I finally went to the dr but saw his nurse practitioner. He put drops and used a black light to look in my eye. I was told that I had a bacterial infection and could loose my eye sight if it was not treated, also if it did not improve in the next 24 hours to call and get a referral to a specialist. I was given Vigamox to use every 2 hours then every 4. I called and was told they would get me the appointment on Monday the optamologist were closed for the weekend. I went to see the opthamologist today and was told that I did NOT have a bacterial infection but pink eye and the reason my vision is blurry in my left eye is the rx is wrong. How could it change that much in a month. When I asked they said my contacts are reshaping my eye and to get a correct eye exam don't take your contacts out just before getting them checked. Has anyone heard of this. I am just a little mad that my new glasses are the wrong rx. I would go back to my optometrist but he moved to another city. I had been seeing him for 5 years without a problem. Just frustrated.

I'm no expert so can only make some general comments. Some contacts do reshape the cornea, others don't. Toric and the newer lenses for astigmatism fit into this category. You'd have to know what type of contacts you are wearing and for what. You would also know how many hours a day you wear contacts--if it's possible that your eye was reshaped for long enough periods of time that your vision was ok. I'd expect the blurriness to be most obvious first thing in the morning. It does seem odd that everything would be fine for two months and then go wonky.
As for the eye infection, a nurse practitioner in a GP's office would be no expert on bacterial vs viral eye infections.
