Toric Contact lenses problem?!
Question: i have a problem with my freshlook colorblend toric contact lenses and its, that my eyes get red when i wear them, my doctor once told me that the reason why it gets my eyes red it because of not enough oxygen going into my eyes that are causing this problem, i sure that this is the problem because a week ago i had my lenses on for almost 24 hours and then after that is when my eyes started getting red. is there a solution for this maybe some type of eyedrops, or can someone tell me about a better brand of torics that allows more oxygen in my eye so they dont start getting red. ( if possible any color torics)

"...a week ago i had my lenses on for almost 24 hours and then after that is when my eyes started getting red."
You should not be sleeping in these lenses. The most likely reason your eyes are getting red are from overwearing them (your doctor told you this) which, among other problems, causes the lack of oxygen. Keep it up, and you'll end up with bigger problems (eye infections, corneal ulcers, etc....). The lenses you have were not meant to be worn overnight or for more than about 10 hours straight. Please do not use visine with your contacts or on a regular basis. This will only make your problems worse (ask your eye doc to explain). Rewetting drops (NOT visine) that are made to be used with contacts wont hurt you , but will not help in your situation. There are many soft toric brands that are much better than freshlook, but you wont find much in the way of color torics. They are not economically feasible for most people, so the manufacturers dont waste their time producing them.
They make visine and other rewetting eye drops that you can use with contacts. I would put a drop of the eye drop on the contact before i put it on my eye. that way, there's some on your eye. Then, I would put another drop in my eye once the contact is in. I definitely recommend that. It sounds like you have dry eyes. the redness can also happen if you wear them for a long time, are in front of a computer for a long time, or are under fluorescent lights.
the best is that you were them as scheduled
Well, first off, dont wear your contacts roung the clock! those lenses were designed to be worn 8-10 hours a day. Being you've done what you did- it would be advisable to lay off for a coulpe of days.
