Redness in eye

2017-05-29 12:22:07
I use silicone hydrogel toric contact lens ( cooper vision biofinity) which allows 6-7 days of continues wear. Recently I slept for 3-4 hours in afternoon wearing them. I woke up with red eyes, no itching or pain, just red eyes. Also the contacts got stuck in my eyes so i had to add a few drops and take them off with slight effort. Is this normal?

No it is not . Did ur vision decrease for a transient period when u removed the cl? Well when these lenses get stuck they cause corneal edema . Best is to consult an ophthalmologist .
