It is not an easy task for a manufacturer to attain ISO and
other medical certifications. Contact lenses that boast quality tags are tested
for the health & safety before being penetrated into the market for
mass-consumption. Yet, if you observe painful experiences/discomfort with your
lenses or develop eye sores; the probable factor is either negligence towards
meticulous contact lens cleaning or frequently skipped eye exams.
1. Redness after Wearing Contact Lenses
If you have been wearing contact lenses for years without
any notable discomforts then the redness is most probably due to your eye sight
getting weaker. If the redness is accompanied by stress, strain, watery eyes or
over-loaded eye lids; plan an immediate meet-up with your eye care
professional. Sometimes redness also occurs due to a change in the brand of
contact lenses. If you have dry eyes syndrome, you should always take a strict
note of the water percentage in your soft contacts. Try using eye drops that are
compatible to be used with circle lenses.

2. Redness or Eye Sores underneath the Eyelids
This happens because of an ill-fitted contact lens. People
with astigmatism or certain other diseases need to have their eyes tested
because of their special contact lens needs. A loose contact lens that keeps
rotating/sliding/dislodging may cause abrasion over the surface of the cornea.
On the other hand circle lenses with too tight base curve compromise the oxygen
need that may result in stuck contact lens or eye sores if you continue to wear
them every day despite noticing the discomfort.
3. Redness after Removing Contact Lenses
If redness is observed after removing circle lenses, the culprit
behind is, your incompatible or expired contact lens solution. Sometimes even
the best pharmacy-made solution loses its efficacy before even meeting the
expiry date because of the misuse. The preservatives and the enzymes that kill
the bacteria and are involved in the breakdown of lipids and proteins from the surface
of lenses, evaporate when you leave the bottle opened. If
you notice these symptoms upon removing contact lenses, then take no second
chances- better switch to a multi-purpose disinfectant immediately.
Colored circle lenses that are ISO certified and KFDA
approved, minimize the risk of CLIDs. Despite being medically safe for
consumption by patients, circle lenses need careful and delicate handling. If
the redness persists, accompanied by painful stinging; remove the lenses instantly.
This happens due to protein build-up or bacteria accumulation that might have
transmitted through dirty/un-cleaned contact lens case. Always replace your
cases every 3 months! Only wear authentic genuine Korean circle lenses & schedule
timely replacement. You can get a new pair of lenses but not a new pair of
eyes!
