A member asked:
After a couple hours or even minutes of use, my contacts start making my eyes really red. and create a red border around my cornea. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with doc: Sometimes a component of the lens or cleaning solution causes sensitization. You may benefit from switching brands or getting skin patch testing done to test for sensitivity to preservatives. Also want to be sure you don't have corneal injury.
