Sometimes a lens in one eye, no matter how many times I remove and put it back on and use drops, it distorts when I blink or distorts at an inopportune time, like when I'm about to swing or putt.

Any tips on how to deal with this? I use disposables - 2 week and daily. Slight astigmatism in one eye.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I have 2 week disposables that I use for a month with no problem. I have an astigmatism as well, but I have a specially fitted lens for that eye. It costs a little more but It works fine.

This EXACTLY describes me too. If you get a bad disposable, just throw it away. They're so cheap that I wouldn't mess with it. If you're constantly having a problem, I'd have your optometrist check the ft.....

Sometimes you really got to try different brands, and sizes to find the right one. I tried Acuvue for a while, and then went to Dailies brand and really improved alot of things.

I have astigmatism in my left eye. My doctor recommended the Acuvue Oasis as its supposed to help with that.  I had the exact problem that you are describing.  The dang things were always moving around and made it very uncomfortable, not to mention hard to see.

I have since went back to the Acuvue 2's and have no problems at all.  I have tried about every contact brand out there and always find my way back to the Acuvue 2.

Small world... wearing lenses for 25 years and recently diagnosed with that slight astigmatism in left eye. Special lens moved... went back to regular lens. Ignorance is bliss... it's a hair blurry but I'm right eye dominant...

never had any problems with any brand.

are you sure your not putting the lens flipped the wrong way ? they do have a shape and are not reversable.

do you wear them too much ? 10-12 hours is recommended max, especially if your eyes dont tear a lot.

Thanks to all for the advice. Just got an exam so will use prescription to order different lenses. The trial lenses the doctor gave me were Acuevue, will order different brands.

I've been using lenses for awhile so I'm pretty good with not getting the lens on wrong (unless lenses put on the wrong side don't feel funny anymore) and this problem just recently happens more frequently. Maybe the stigmatism is starting to get worse.

RK surgery 9 years ago.  Best $2k I ever spent.  Hated contact lenses and glasses.  Vision is great and only time I worry about glasses is when reading.

My wife had the surgery a few years ago and wants me to get it done. Definitely the best long term solution...

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
