I really like soft lenses, but I have found a noticable difference between brands. Right now I'm wearing accuvue 2 brand, and I think they're great. Do you know they're more than 50% water? How do they stay together? I digress... If your headaches are getting worse, not better, I think you need to get back to the eye doctor right away. I really don't think this is something that can clear itself up in time, and I wouldn't want you to injure yourself (let alone simply put up with the unneccessary discomfort!) while trying to wait the trial period out.

I tried the gas permiable for, oh about 4 days. I had an astigmisism and so those were supposed to be the ones that gave you the clearest vision.. Walking around feeling like I had glass in my eye was not an option. So I switched to soft, which felt 100 times better, but the sharpness is not there. Try some eyedrops to see if that helps -- my eyes were so dry because I kept blinking and rubbing. You can also go back to the doctor (most contact exams include follow up care) and see if she has any other lens type reccommendations if you are wearing soft lenses - there are tons of them out there.
