What Causes Cloudy Discharge From The Eyes After Wearing Contact Lenses?

When I put one of my contacts in my eye, sometimes as soon as 10 minutes or a few hours later, a cloudy patch appears on a part of it. When I take it out and rinse it, the patch goes away and when I put it back in I can see fine, but then the patch returns. This cloudy patch is not always in the same place. I clean my contact case with soap daily and rinse out both lenses before and after use. This is only happening in my right eye as of now- this had happened before, maybe in the other eye, was fine for a few weeks when I changed my solution, but then returned. My eyes feel completely normal when I'm wearing my glasses. What could be wrong?

Are you suppose clean the lens with soap water. This is not advisable. Contact lens are supposed to be remove at bedtime. Continuous use will cause dry eye and corneal erosion. It appears the problem is with your use of cotactlens. since you become alright by using specs. Remove the lens and apply artificial tear drop like refresh tear 3times daily.contact optician and get your lens checked.
