A member asked:

Im on hrt, and everytime wear my contacts my eyes get very red. what causes this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contacts: You need either a new cleaning solution or a new brand of contacts, you may have developed a sensitivity to some of the chemicals in them, it is pretty common and is not related to hrt. Talk to your optometrist.
