Is it ok to not feel a contact lens in your eyes?
Got contacts about 15 days back. When I wore them for the first time, I could feel the lens. It wasn't painful or uncomfortable, i could just feel something was present in the eye.
Now, after 15 days of regular use, I can't feel the lenses in my eyes after about 5 minutes from wearing -it's as if there's nothing in my eyes yet I'm able to see clearly.
A quick google search said it might be that oxygen starvation has killed the nerve cells in the cornea and the cornea can no longer feel anything.
I called my optometrist's office, he was busy with other patients so a nurse took my call and said this is normal as the lenses I've been given does bot block oxygen.
Is this nerve cells dying from lack of oxygen? Or is this something else? Shall I book another appointment with my optometrist? The lenses he gave me are called "Avaira", and I take them out before sleeping every night. Please advice.

Explain my Contact lense prescription to me?
So I wen't to the eye doctor today so they could check up on my contacts and such, and i got a sheet that had my contact lens prescription on it. However, I do not understand what any of it means and, here is what is says:
Right Base curve: 8.6, Right Diameter: 14.2, Sphere: -2.75
Left base curve: 8.6, Left Diameter: 14.2, Sphere: -2.50
What does this mean? How do I figure out what my vision out of 20 is (like perfect vision is 20/70)
I tried looking it up on google but I had no success, so maybe one of you guys know how to read these types of prescriptions?
Thanks!
