• Is it normal to be blurry and uncomfortable to wear contact Lenses for first-time user?

  Yes,it is quite normal to have such feeling.If it is first time for you to wear contacts, you may undergo some blurring and dryness because your eyes are trying to adjust to wearing contacts and it will take several days to 2 weeks at most for some people to get used to it. If your eyes are too dry, you will find things blurry. In this case, you can just buy some eye drops that are safe for use while wearing contact lenses, which will help to add some extra moisture to your eyes.After that ,you should be fine.

• One good eye and one blurry eye after the lasik surgery?
