Signs and Symptoms
Although you cannot see any distinct changes in the eye that would point only to a toxic reaction from a contact lens solution, there are good clues to suggest this type of reaction. One clue is that the trouble only seems to occur when you use a particular solution. Take note if the issue occurs following use of a previously used product, particularly if it has a label that says "new and improved." Patients with contact lens solution toxicity can experience any or all of the following:

  • Redness of the eye
  • Pain
  • Itching
  • Tearing
  • Decreased or blurred vision
  • Discharge from the eyes
  • Inability to wear the contact lenses
