Everything your saying, I've heard a million times before! It will take longer to get used to the mono vision, at least a good solid week or so. What we do is give you a trial pair to wear a week and have you come back in and recheck your vision to make any adjusments in the rx before we order your actual contacts. It's not always 100% clear both far and close all the time, it is sometimes a bit of a trade off in monovision. We don't use much of the cooper vision lenses, no particular reason, I don't know of anything wrong with that brand. We prefer the Ciba Newvus and Vistakons Accuvue 2 lenses. The Accuvue 2 lenses have a higher water content and work better for poeple who tend to have dryer eyes. Women over 40 are more prone to dry eyes, also hormones like birth control pills and other medications make eyes dryer. As your doctor for some samples of drops to help with the dryness. When your lens folds over put it in the palm of your hand and soak it with solution, then gently use one finger to "roll" it apart, NEVER try to peel it apart, it will rip every time! If its being stubborn, put it in the case and let it soak for a minute in the solution. Did your doctor give you a wearing schedule? It's best to wear the lenses a few hours the first day and increase your time everyday(just like we build up our tolerance to fiber supplements!) The soreness should stop in a few days. At first you should carry your case and solution with you in case you have an emergency! And yes the lens should fold over like a taco if its the correct way, you will probably know right away if you get it in your eye inside out! Your doing just fine, give it a little time. If the headache and nausea are not better in one week you need to talk to your doctor about the prescription. Let me know if you have any more questions! Feel free to email me also! michelebrake@sbcglobal.net
Good luck!
