Just a word of advice to look at other areas rather than concentrating on
only CD as the culprit.
Years ago I had contact lenses that all of a sudden I could not wear. My
eyes would look like I had been on a 3 day drunk after wearing the lenses
for about 2 hours, they were red, puffy, itchy (as if I had sand in them)
yet watery. My doctor also took them away for 2 weeks, cleaned them tried
them again and bingo, same problem. I had told him the before he took them
away that I had started taking a new birth control pill about 4 weeks prior
to the first inflammation. He finally looked it up in his book and sure
enough one of the side affects: could cause problems with contact lens
wearers. I went back to my other doctor and he checked the manual and found
a birth control pill that I could use that didn't have this side affect.
Changed birth control pills and the contact problem cleared up.
Moral of the story: CD is not necessarily always the culprit when we react
to something.
