Don't know if any one else has heard this one, but at my last eye appointment the doctor described my eye as "congested". I'm having trouble with kerasoft lens, eye is always very red on side nearest nose (!) and is sore inserting and removing lens. However it is hard to rest eye as other eye has been grafted but gets sore doing all the work. Wearing glasses with prescription in glasses to boost non grafted eye which even with lens is not seeing well without help of glasses. My next appointment is in November. Do I go back (again!) or try to find out more about "congested" eye? Tubs

Ohhh lala!

I am having difficulty getting my head round this one..

If the eye is congested .. it means increased blood supply which usually means irritation. Anything more serious and you wouldn't have been told to come back in November!

Which probably means you are having a drying problem....

Any update on this?
