Itchy eyes with contact lenses
Common Questions and Answers about Itchy eyes with contact lenses
itchy
The first time I tried contact lenses with this solution I got red eyes. I thought it was part of the process to get use to contact lenses (this is the first time I tried them). Then, after 2-4 days my skin was itchy, but no signs of rash; just itchy. My eyes got very tired so I decided not to use the contact lenses for a while. Then after 4 weeks I decided to give it a shot, put the contact lenses and I got very bad skin rash all over my belly, chest, arms and neck.
I have tinea on my right hand from 12years ago when I started doing household work. It started on my right hand.1st on little finger, later with next 3fingrs and back of hand. now it still happen sometimes but not very serious as before. sometime I have skin peel around my 4fingers. Later on left and right wrist, but now it gone. Last 4-5years started on thigh now still here and look like eczema.
I went to my doctor and he said I was allergic to the Silicone in the contact lenses. He gave me another type--my eyes are a little better but still not compleltey clear. They still get pink.
What should I do? Do you think it`s the contact lenses solution? Should I get a non-silicon contact lenses solution? Does anyone have any idea?
Have you ever heard of allergies to silicon that makes your eyes red?

Hi all, I have a question about my contact lenses. I'll try to be as thorough as possible.
I've been wearing monthly soft contact lenses for 7 years to correct myopia (-4.25 left, -3.75 right, slight astigmatism in the left eye). I'm 26 and male. Occasionally I neglected proper care by not washing my hands or wearing them beyond a month but that was the exception. Ordinarily I didn't wear them beyond the prescribed periods, nor did I sleep with them in.
Hello there,
I'm a 23 year old male , I work a lot with computer from 6 a.m. till 5-6 p.m. and i almost always tired or feel exhausted .
Three and a half months ago I switched to Acuvue Oasys 2 week contacts from Acuvue Advanced. Then a month ago while visiting my parents my eyes began to turn red around my iris and water, with the right worse than the left. I visited an optometrist, who said my eyes were overall healthy and the redness was likely an eye infection and had me take antibiotic eyedrops.
After that treatment most of the redness was gone, but some veins were still present in the whites of my eyes.
t say that RGP lenses gave better clarity than the hybrids because my Rx and overall eye health was so different during the trial with RGP lenses vs. hybrid lenses (RGP and soft contact wear was done pre-retinal detachment/phakic/less problems with dry eye, and hybrid lens wear was done post-retinal detachment/aphakic/dry eyes)
The hybrid lenses are more expensive than RGPs and soft lenses and you must find a doctor who fits them.
My eyes were remained red when I switched to Re-Nu, and after wearing my contact lenses with clear care today, they have remained the same. The redness is not severe, you have to look closely to notice the redness. The white part of my eye has small red veins on most parts. I always wash my hands with a scentless soap when handling the lenses, I replace my contacts as I was told to, I don't sleep in the lenses and I clean my lenses properly.
Can it cause by contact lenses or solution? I use contact lenses for 4years. Last year I wear them everyday around 10hrs with 1year disposable Korea Geo contact lenses and Renu solution. This whole year since I stay at home, I wear them around 15times only.

I seem to have faint red veins in the corner of my eyes. I noticed this last week and havnt worn my contacts. The thing is I don't feel any pain,itching or burning. I wore my contact lenses on sat for a few hours and they seemed ok, had slight discomfort with my right lense. I went to my GP and they said there was nothing wrong and it was caused by allergies and that it should heal upon their own, but it's been a week and they havnt. Nonetheless she gave my some eye drops for dry eyes.
What has happen now is that I am unable to wear lenses anymore because they have permently left a grove on my eyes. Now when I try to wear glasses my eyes burn so bad that I am in tears. My Doctor is considering implantable Contact Lense surgery from the Gimble Eye Centre in Canada does anyone have any thoughts.
I’m a 22 year old male with brown eyes. I’m nearsighted and wear contact lenses. I wanted to try blue contact lenses and recently saw my optometrist. He gave me blue Freshlook contacts. These appear darker than real blue eyes and the underlying brown iris is still visible around the pupil. Is there any other brand of contact lenses that will completely cover the iris?
they docter did a full workup and said t looks like i had allregies, and gave me eye drops. I wear gas permeable Contact lenses. So, no my right eye is VERY itchy, but nothing else worth noting. My question is could i have Shingles in my right eye, when i have it on my left side, and could I have had a check up 3 days ago ,and he had missed that?
eye dryness, solution incompatibility and toxicity, allergy, old lenses with protein buildup, etc. The exact problem will be determined by your doctor with a complete evaluation.
What is the safest way to stop using multifocal contact lens worn to reduce strain due to latent hyperopia and instead simply not wear contact lenses and bare with the minor headaches and strain?
- The contact lenses are Pure Vision Multi-Focal low add - the lowest add available. I beleive the lens power changes as you go from the inner to the outer part of the lens.
Over the last few years there have been a number of new contact lens models come out on the market, especially among daily disposables, since different people do better with different lenses. Many people do have issues with dry eyes and so they are constantly trying to make more comfortable lenses to help them out. It depends on how severe your issues with things like dryness are, some people can't adapt to wearing contacts.
Each practitioner has a comfort level with a certain number of contact lenses. There are too many lenses to use them all. Try your lenses and see if they work for you and make sure if they don't you alert your doctor so you can get different ones before any warranty expires.
Make sure you remove your lenses at night and use all the proper treatments your practitioner recommends for dry eye.
My question is with full distance powered monofocal IOLs implanted in each eye if i should expect the same level of near and intermediate vision that I currently experience with my contact lenses? My opthamologist suggested i consider maybe knocking the right eye down by -.75 to enhance the close up vision, but i dont see the wisdom in that if I have been happy with my current set up of full powered contacts and reading glasses. Any feedback would be appreciated.
