When i take my hrt pill..i can't wear my contacts it causes my eyes to get red. what causes this reaction?

Hard to say: Hormones can cause some water retention edema. This could cause some eye strain and therefore redness. You could have a virus and it is coincidence that it turns red when on the hrt. See your opthamologist for a thorough exam for a more definitive answer.
