What is the most recommended contact lens for allergic eyes?

Solution not lens: Generally, we see that patients who have contact lens allergies are sensitive not to the lens but to the disinfection solutions. We usually attempt to transition patients to a hydrogen peroxide system and if necessary to daily disposables. Addressing environmental allergens is very important as well.

Depends: If the allergy is to something in the environment, than most soft lenses are fine. If the allergy is to the contact lense, then you might ask your ophthalmologist to recommend a gas permeable lens or perhaps a daily wear soft lens.
