 Richmond Eye Associates, Eye Health and Disorders - Contact Lens Problems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The fact that a contact lens is constantly touching the eye leads to the possibility of an allergy developing to the lens material, deposits on the lens, or to solutions used with the lens.
Often, a red eye with contact lens use is treated like a case of conjunctivitis (pink eye), when actually the redness may be due to a contact lens related allergy or infection.
Eye redness associated with contact lens use should not be ignored, and the eye should be examined by an ophthalmologist to determine the cause.

EYE [eye] organ of vision and light perception.
Accessory structures of the eye are the lacrimal gland and its ducts in the upper lid, which bathe the eye with tears, keeping the cornea moist, clean, and brilliant, and drainage ducts that carry the excess moisture to the interior of the nose.
In addition to errors of refraction (astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness), the human eye is subject to various types of injury, infection, and changes due to systemic disease.

Eye color, or more correctly, iris color is due to variable amounts of eumelanin (brown/fl melanins) and pheomelanin (red/yellow melanins) produced by melanocytes.

 Lateral Inhibition
In fact, your brain adds very substantially to the report it gets from your eye, so that a lot of what you see is actually "made up" by the brain (see Seeing more than your eye does).
A characteristic pattern of connections among neurons (nerve cells) in the eyes of most animals (including humans), termed a "lateral inhibition network", is a significant way information is thrown away.
As shown in the figure, a simple (but adequate) way to think of the eye is that it is a hollow sphere with a hole in the front (which corresponds to the fl spot, or "pupil" of a real eye, located within the colored "iris").
