When wearing contact lenses, recurrent redness, irritation, and rawness in the eyes might be caused by an eye infection, an allergy, dry eyes, or irritation from overuse or poor lens cleaning. Contact lenses can exacerbate the infection and harm the cornea, therefore you should cease wearing them right once until the eyes fully heal. Do not share eye products, wash your hands before touching your eyes, keep your lenses and lens case clean, and refrain from sleeping with your lenses on. Depending on the cause, an ophthalmologist may recommend lubricating eye drops or antibiotics. Contact lens infections can occasionally turn serious, so you should visit an ophthalmologist right away if you have extreme pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, swelling, or pus discharge.
