What Causes Redness And Pain In Eye After Wearing Contact Lenses?

I found out a few months ago that I had blood vessels in my eye and was told to stop wearing contacts, but to give them a try once my eyes had calmed down. I did, and I can wear them for about an hour before they turn red and start to hurt. Could my brand of contacts be the problem?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic

I reviewed your history.
Redness and pain after wearing contact lenses indicate tight fit or infection.
You need to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the condition.
You can wear the contact lenses after ruling out infection and tight fit or corneal abrasion.

Thank you
