What Causes Contact Lenses Fogging?
Hi I am 42 years old and have been a contact lens wearer for more than 15 years. I wear soft lenses that last 2 weeks before I use the next set. I have had no problems with vision with them in all this time, but about 6 weeks ago I had a virus/throat infection and ever since then my contact lenses have been getting a kind of film on part of them - generally near the middle - even on the first day of use. I am cleaning them each night, but they soon film over again. If I wear my glasses I am fine. Do you have any idea what might be the problem? Many thanks
