How do allergies affect contacts?
Contact lenses make eye allergies worse. This is because the contact lens acts like a sponge and holds the eye allergens in the contact lens instead of them being washed away by the tears. If you suffer from eye allergies due to the environment, it is recommended to wear your glasses during times when your eyes are especially bothersome. Prescription eye drops may also be used to alleviate the discomfort. Occasionally you may develop an allergy to contact lens cleaning solutions. If you feel that your contact lenses are uncomfortable, please let us know so that we can determine the problem.
