Will this affect vision in my eyes or anything? Or will I need to get my eyes re-checked? I just got them checked 4 months ago so I would like to avoid paying the fee again 
I also noticed after a full day of wearing my contacts, they're slightly red, is this a huge cause of concern? Or just eye fatigue after a day? I'm not an experience contact lens wearer either so not sure what's normal or not. |
BC is the shape of the back surface of the lens. Most likely it is not fitting right. However it should work until you get home, as long as you do not get discharge or a vision decrease from the lens. May be a good idea to pop into the Optometrist when you get home for a quick check. If you are in Alberta iit would be a health care covered medically necessary exam.
