Switched contact solution now my eyes are irritated , red and light sensative? is this because of a change in solution? how do i help heal ?

Sensitivity: Some contact solutions may contain a chemical that you can be sensitive to. If you are wearing new contacts and have started using a new solution, go back to the old one or an alternative. It is best to speak to your eye doctor for your different options.
