I went to the ophthalmologist and had a thorough eye exam - I have worn contacts for ages, went to the optician with the prescription from the ophthalmologist, he fitted me for contacts and recommended Day & Night (or the other way around) and for whatever reason I said, sure, I'll take them.

Anyway, I hate them. And I have 12 pair of them.

So I went back to the optician and wanted something else, perhaps what I used to wear.

He said it would require a whole new fitting and another $50 fitting fee.

Are contact lenses so different that if you don't like one brand/style (?) you have to keep having fittings to find a pair you like?

Great, I'm glad. I don't understand how the "ophthalmologist" fitted you for contacts without you ever seeing him. That's impossible. But greatly explains why they didn't work for you. But now you are well-equipped with what to look for next time.
