A member asked:
Is it normal to have red eye and painful feeling when you are wearing bandage contact lens?

Yes: If you are wearing the lens because you have a corneal problem, this can be normal until the cornea clears up. I would have your eye doctor check to make sure the fit of the lens is good because this can cause discomfort and eye redness as well.

Probably: The redness and pain is probably the results of the injury or infection that made the bandage lens necessary in the first place.
