Bausch & Lomb: Vision Care http://www.bausch.com/us/resource/visioncare/otc/allclearar.jsp If your eyes are red and you wear contacts, I recommend a visit to your ophthalmologist to treat the cause of the redness (conjunctivitis). “According to Dr. Granet, most causes of red eye are either allergic, viral, or bacterial.” “Differentially Diagnosing Allergic Conjunctivitis “ Medical Association Communications http://www.macmcm.com/acaai/acaai99_te.htm Here’s some useful information from Google Groups. “In general eyedrops shouldn't be used with contact lenses because the lens can absorb the eye drop and result in a concentrated buildup of the solution.” “FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Vision and EyeCare Part 2/5” (C), (1995 Grant Sayer) 3.6.12 “Can I use eyedrops with my contact lenses?”. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ophthalmology+red+eye+%22contact+lens%22&hl=en&selm=faq-part2_856301502%40research.canon.com.au&rnum=9 Additional Websites that may interest you: Here’s some information about why your eyes may be red.
