Thanks


Answers:

Hello there! Well seeing as how the burning happens for ten minutes then goes away, it is the solution! What type of solution are you using? Is it a "multipurpose" or "all in one" solution. These solutions contain a mild soap because they are used to clean your contacts as well as store them and that is why they can irritate your eyes. You may want to look into getting a solution made for sensitive eyes or a single step solution regime. The single step involves having a separate solution for cleaning/storing/re wetting. This will take out the irritation that the multipurpose solutions can cause.
You may get used to the solution, but if the problem persists you may want to talk to your local eye care professional about it.
