Why are eyes red and swollen after taking contact lenses off?

How can I know what caused red eyes via contact lenses? Could it be UV sunburned eyes? Lenses sucked up all the water in the eyes? proteins?

  • built up in the lenses? saline solution too salty and salt makes red eyes? contact lens cleaner too soapy and soap irritates eyes?

  • Answer:

    I'm just a chemist (and have never used contact lenses), but IMO there are two most likely causes: (1) incomplete cleaning that caused some microbiological contamination, and (2) incomplete rinsing off of the cleaning solution, resulting in chemical irritation.
