Do you have allergic reaction to nose pads on glasses?

Yes, it is normal. Most eyeglass nose pads are made from soft silicone. Soft silicone is a good material for eyeglass nose pads because they are translucent (clear) and stick to the skin without discomfort. Soft silicone nose pads are often advertised as being "hypoallergenic," which means they have a low incidence of causing allergic reactions. However, people with sensitive skin or silicone/latex allergies may exhibit symptoms of silicone allergy when wearing silicone eyeglass nose pads. If your skin is irritated, consult your eye doctor.

Goggles help but not enough.An optician once told me that contacts love either cold/dry or hot/humid conditions so skiing should be good for them. I am currently trying new monthly torics, Proclear and Frequency Xcel. I also have dry eyes. the proclear has a higher water content and I find them less comfortable. these lenses need more water which my eye is not producing.Red eyes mean something is irritating them. I assume you wear googles or wrap around shades so it should not be wind or glare. it might have something to do with the fit of your lens or the oxygen supply to the eye. probably best to see an optician for a check up.

It will take time to adjust to the shifting of the contacts. I think the contacts will attach to our eyeballs and will move with our eyeballs. But sometimes they will move in their own way. Just blink your eyes for several times again to try to replace them. And if this doesn't affect your vision, you can wear them for few days first. If you can't adjust to this, go and see an optometrist and talk with him or her.
