What is the best way to get rid of eye redness fast?

Question

I wear contacts and some times they irritate my eyes. Last night they started to make my left I eye red so if figured if I take them out and get some sleep it would be better in the morning... so now its the morning and its still not better... what can I do? I heard if you use eye drops with both artificial tears and that reduce redness that, that would be the best option... would that work?

Answer 1

Keep your lenses clean by using the recommended solution regularly.This will prevent the redness and irritation.If you are a new user,increase slowly the number of hours you wear them.Lenses cause dry eye.If you have dry eye,use artificial drops regularly.Even if you are using soft lenses which can be worn continuously for one month,do remove them at least twice a week for cleaning and to prevent dry eye.As for now,remove your lenses and put 1 drop of visene eye drops in each eye.The redness will disappear within minutes and irritation will reduce.As far as possible don't sleep wearing your lenses,it's like sleeping with your shoes on.
