Totally OT: Cute reading glasses!

As soon as I put the torics in my eyes, they started watering and I could always feel it. Within a half hour, my nose was running and I was in a full blown allergy attack. Since this scenario has actually lead to bronchitis a couple of times, I decided after this happened twice, it wasn't worth it.

Could it be the lens solution you were using? I had to try a zillion different ones before I found one that was compatible with my eyes. Turns out I have some weird allergies to many of the ingredients.

Along those same lines, new lenses of certain brands can irritate my eyes. I don't know whether there's a preservative in the saline they're packaged in, or whether it was a leachate from the plastic. I'm not super-sensitive to solutions, but it definitely was a problem. Once the lenses had been rinsed and stored in fresh solution overnight, no problem.
