A problem with contact lenses.
Discussion
This is a huge long shot, but PH is an amazing place for getting answers to things so it's worth a punt.
I've had some health problems for about the last 18 months (I'm a 24 year old male) primarily with my sinuses. I was suffering from vertigo, light-headedness and visual disturbances. CT scans revealed sinus problems and I was referred to an ENT. They found cysts and severe inflammation and after nothing else worked I went for surgery.
To the issue at hand: I wear contact lenses and have done since I was 18 with out a problem. About 18 months ago, after I had been wearing contacts a while they would start to "pull" for want of a better word and become awkward to look through at various angles. This got worse and worse until a point, that point was about a 15 months ago where I can only wear contacts for a couple of hour maximum before they start being awkward. Nobody can find any problems with my eyes (despite the fact I have a web of tiny veins visible on the whites of my eyes). I have had a 3D scan of my eye (read: expensive) and everything is completely healthy. I had this as I was getting worried about seeing more floaters than usual.
After my surgery my eyes went completely back to normal for about 2 weeks before returning which says to me my sinuses are the route cause.
If you've read all that, you're a good person.
Summaryfor those who don't wish to read my wall of text: My contact lenses "pull" and become awkward to look through at certain angles after wearing them for more than a few hours and it gets worse and worse until I take them out. My eyes are healthy. I suspect that it's the contact lens slightly depressing my eye and causing a problem with my inflamed sinuses. Is there anything I can do? Are there any special contact lenses? Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
