End of 2008 update on red eyes as a result of Acuvue Oasys
December 31, 2008
It’s been about 6 months since I last wore contact lenses, and I continue to get big red veins around my irises, particularly on the medial (inside) edges. I NEVER had veins like these before. Before Oasys, if I had veins appear in my eyes due to contacts, it was lateral (outside) to the irises and never actually TOUCHED my irises. In the last few days, the redness has started to clear up a little as I have forced myself to maintain awareness of how much I squint while using the computer, and this has — through some physiological means by which I doubt I’ll be ever to explain — helped. There are periods in which my eyes look REALLY white again, but if I start getting squinty, the heinous veins come right back. Eye drops have been no use so far, and I’m certain that I am allergic to some of them through some less than wonderful experiences.
If anyone has any input on good eyedrops for this, please post it here! Best of luck to us all in the New Year!
