What Causes Floaters In Eye While Wearing Contact Lens?
For 2-3 years now I have noticed a blue halo around the moon and now when driving at night with oncoming traffic. I have worn contact lenses for 54 years.....otherwise, my vision is not impaired. I have been taking extra Vit D3 and Vit A but have seen no decrease in these halos....there is no clouding just these perfectly blue halos around the moon, etc.
