“Can your eyes be too sensitive for contacts?”

When you ask about "too sensitive", I have to ask you 2 questions? When you have "sensitive eyes", are your eyes sensitive to something like light which of course, a transition lens or a pair of sunglasses would help reduce this sensitivity. If you are referring to the actual feeling or sensation of placing a contact lens in your eye and onto the cornea, it would be my recommendation to see an eye doctor so you can try a properly fitted pair of trial contact lenses that satisfies your visual needs. Certainly, placing a contact lens into your eye for the first time is a unique experience. After a time of adjustment to your new visual world, only you and your eye doctor can determine if the lenses are a proper "fit" for you, and this would include how they feel in your eye (after a period of time, you should not know you are wearing contact lenses), how clear is your vision (you should see 20/20), are these lenses satisfactory for work, leisure, hobbies, and for any needs that you have personally or professionally, and is the wearing schedule right for you (are the lenses a daily disposable, a weekly lens, a 2 week lens, or a monthly lens. Good luck and best wishes.

Yes and it depends. For some people, if they have allergies or dry eyes then type of contact lens (CL) or frequency of wear is something to consider. If you have certain corneal conditions or are prone to infections then CLs might not be an option for you. If it comes down to just being afraid to put a CL in your eye, then that's natural and takes time and patience. When getting your CL exam, your eye doctor will look at the health and condition of your cornea (the front surface of your eye) to determine if CLs are a good choice for you. Kindest, Tiffani B.

If you are fit with the correct daily disposable contacts that have a high water content then you should be comfortable all day. It's important for your doctor to evaluate your ocular surface to ensure your eyes are healthy to wear contacts.

Under normal circumstances, eyes should be able to tolerate contact lenses. You must have an thorough evaluation to see what other circumstances may be contributing to your eyes being overly sensitive (dry eyes, anxiety, etc)

If the contact lens fit is not right, then you can have discomfort. Some people are not good contact lens wearers due to the shape of their cornea.

Yes, your eyes can be sensitive to the material of the contacts. Each eye and contact lens is different. You should consult your eyecare professional to see if dailies are a better option. Be sure to let them know the previous brands of contacts that you have tried.
