Why do my contacts make my eyes so red??

Question

i have purevision toric contacs for astigmatism and i had no problems the first few months, but then my contacts made my eyes red, so i stoped wearing them

its been the whole summer and almost all school year and i only wear my contacts maybe twice a month

they always get red!!!

the eye makeup is not the problem but i wore htme everyday for a week without a problem. the only difference was i wore them from 10 am to 5 pm

i tried cleaning my contacts, cleaning the case, using rewetting drops all day, getting new contacts

nothing seems to work

dont tell me to go to he doctor, i already will

but how can i wear my contacts for 6 hours straight this saturday without the redness

also, they are realy red now.. so how can i get rid of the redness

Answer 1

* You may be allergic to the material of the contacts

* You may be allergic to the contact solution

* You may have developed an eye infection.

Infections require treatment and will not go away on their own. See your optometrist who will check you out.

Answer 2

If it's painful you may have an infection and there's no way around seeing a Dr to resolve the problem.

If not it could be anything, have you tried switching the solution? I've noticed some solution annoys my eyes. Otherwise aside from actually seeing a Dr you can ask a pharmacist if they have any ideas on what would help for the time being. They're usually very helpful.
