hello,
Redness of the eye due to contact lens is important to notice as they may cause severe irritation and even corneal ulcer in some cases.Look at the lens closely and see whether there is any damage to the lens.If there is no damage to the lens then try to clean it and disinfect it and reinsert if you feel irritated then you need to consult your health care professional immediately to avoid further complications.Thank you.
