Re: Contacts and bcp?

I haven't experienced this since my contacts never really felt right! LOL. But it does say in the mile long list of warnings that contact wearers may be affected by it. I would talk to your doc/optomitrist about your problems.

Re: Contacts and bcp?

dont know if u found anything - its been a few months since your post but here is my tip: Focus Night and Day contacts or Acuvue Advance. I have worn focus for about 4 yrs now, (you keep them in 24/7 for up to 30 days) and i am on Yasmin and they are great - the contacts in general allow 6 x more oxygen to your eye & even without BCP they are AMAZING .{REMOVED}

Re: Contacts and bcp?

Birth control pills do effect some people's eyes which can lead to problems with the contact lenses. I guess it has something to do with fluid retention in the eyeball and it makes it hard to keep the contacts in comfortably.
