Dailies Contact Lenses

How could I wear a color contact lens without my eyes red and a headache?

I love wearing color contact lens (freshlooks), but my eyes get really red and irritated, sometimes with headache. Even if I start out using new contact lens I kept everything clean, I still got the same problem.

1. Could be the brand.
2. It could just be you. You might be allergic to the cleaning solution you are using, or the brand might be doing something. They shouldn't be getting irritated, but my best bet is that you have an allergic reaction. Talk to your optometrist.
3. Red eyes can be caused from a number of things. Over wearing your lenses, old/dirty lenses, improper fit, sensitivity to solutions, etc... Are you having any other problems associated with the redness? Pain? The feeling of something in your eye? Sensitivity to light? Itchiness? Burning? The only way to diagnose exactly what's going on is to see your eye doctor. Good luck!
