Side Effects
I look high right now. Or hung over. Or something else like that. I'm not, but my eyes are bloodshot and they get that way about half the times I put my contacts in. This has been happening since fall, and before that I've never had problems, even when I was wearing the contacts 18 hours a day. Since September, I've been wearing my glasses a lot. Oddly enough, over Christmas break I wore my contacts a lot with no problems.
Today I finally made the connection. Over Christmas break, I ran out of allergy meds. And this summer, was when I started using it regularly. I googled the side effect and sure enough, the nasal spray steroid can cause dry, red eyes. In my case, my body compensates when I'm wearing glasses, but the contacts make it worse.
I guess I need to see the doctor and see if there's another allergy medicine that can help me that won't dry my eyes out. Which sucks since this one worked really well at keeping me from getting congested. Sigh.
