Do Allergies Cause Protein Deposits On Lenses?
I wear contact lenses and have many allergies airborne as well as food. I have noticed lately that I am getting protein deposits on my lenses within a few days of putting new lenses in. Just put a new set in this morning and within 2 hours had deposits on the lenses so bad that I had to take them out and wash them off. Are my allergies causing this?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your allergies are the cause of your symptoms.
You may need to consider using either using oral antihistamines or approved topical allergy eye drops that would help relieve your symptoms.
I hope this helps
