Eye allergies are extremely common, affecting up to 1 in 3 people. Contact lens wear is also very common, and many people with eye allergies would like to wear contact lenses. Unfortunately, many people with eye allergies either cannot wear contact lenses, or are concerned that the use of contact lenses will either worsen their eye allergy symptoms or result in them not being able to use allergy eye drops.
