Help for contact lens wearers with red eyes and dryness

Red eyes. The scourge of the tired and the allergic. Almost everyone gets them occasionally, but it’s usually temporary, and nothing to worry about.

The leading causes include:

• Being tired
• Allergies
• Wearing contact lenses longer than recommended
• Poor lens care
• Poor lens fit
• Sensitivity to lens materials or solutions

If your eyes are red, it can also mean they’re not getting enough oxygen, which can lead to discomfort.
