A member asked:
I wear contacts regularly but stopped for my left eye since its all red but my left eye still turns red after a 4 hr nap and in the morning?

Examination : You're not likely contact lens tolerant. Have an eye MD evaluate your eyes for contact lens related problems. You will likely need a break from them and possibly eye medication. Wearing Glasses is a good idea for now. Also, don't sleep in your contacts. Trial of preservative free artificial tears or gels prior to bedtime may help with your early morning redness.
