Hi there... been wondering how you were doing.
I didn't have the blurry vision with my contacts. I was wearing contacts up until the time of my concussion. Same as you with one eye long distance and one eye short distance.
I decided to buy glasses again at one of my eye check ups as recommended and ended up wearing them all the time as I was concerned my brain wasn't dealing well with the set up of the contact lenses.
My new glasses, again as recommended, were progressive lenses. I wore progressive lenses for years then because it was easier to just have one set to carry around. Silly reason as it turned out.
What a problem these progressive lenses were to me. I was falling into walls and banging myself on furniture and falling over. It made my balance issues way way worse. I already had really bad vertigo.
Tilting my head was the main problem. Moving the neck and head up and down to adjust to distance.
My optometrist tried to talk me out of it for some unknown reason, but now I have 2 pair of glasses. One for short distance and one for long distance. It's made the world of difference to my balance issues.
I've always wanted to get back to my contacts but am afraid to do that again.
When was your last check up?
Maybe one of your eyes has changed a lot and it's causing the problems. It's a very strange thing when you first get those types of contacts. It took my brain about 2 weeks or so to get used to them so I can imagine if the prescription of one or the other needs a change then it would affect the way you're feeling.
Maybe your eyes are really dry too. You could try using more moisture drops on those contacts throughout the day to see if that helps.
