What's recommended as a cure for redness caused by contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take out the lens: Redness from contacts in the short run is due to mechanical manipulation of the lens. Sometimes also from contact lens overwear especially in rigid lenses. Longer term redness may be due to chemical allergy, oxygen deprivation, environmental issues, and even reaction to the lens itself. If your eye gets red, take out the lens until the eye whitens. See the ophthalmologist if it persists.
