What can i do if my eyes get red from contacts because i have eye allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Contact lenses can cause redness on their own if worn too often due to a decrease in oxygen to the cornea. Allergies can make eyes red & can make contact lens wearers more uncomfortable especially during allergy season.
