A member asked:
I get a red rash above my left eye and i've narrowed it to wearing contact lenses. i've switched cleaning solutions could my contacts be doing this?

Probably not: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face. After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Possibly: Your description does not sound like a contact lens problem. You can try stopping your lenses to see if it resolves. If it persists, see an eye doctor for further evaluation.
