A member asked:
Can wearing contact lenses produce the red-eye effect in photographs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: "red eye" is the natural color of the back of the eye and is produced in photos by the camera lense being in almost the same line as the flash. Contact lenses have no impact on that.
