Question:
Contacts irritating my eye?

Answers:
dont use visine. go to an optometrist.
visine just temporarily masks the problem by constricting your blood vessels, which incidentally your eye pretty much hates. it doesnt "fix" the problem that caused the redness. it causes more problems than it solves. you could end up with rebound hyperemia if you use visine repeatedly, which would worsen your contact-lens-induced red eyes, not make them better.
stop wearing contacts, make an appointment with an optometrist, dont use visine.
