How long does an eye stay red from contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Contact lenses can cause red eyes in multiple ways. Simple contact lens overwear is usually relieved after stopping of contacts for a day or two. More serious inflammations such as gpc or infections such as bacterial keratitis (corneal ulcer) need to be treated with medications.
