What should i do about wearing contacts while suffering from eye allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limit Wear: Eye allergies also known as allergic conjunctivitis is best treated with topicalantihistamines or oral antihistamines such as claritin, (loratadine) Allegra or zyrtec. The cornea is very irritated , so wearing contact lenses will be uncomfortable. Best choice is to limit your contact lens wear to only the time that you have to.
