Acuvue Oasys Lens Making Eyes Red

Most people people love Acuvue Oasys contact lenses. When I do hear or read complaints, it's usually something about redness and irritation of the eyes. How is it that people can get sore eyes from these contacts while most people wear them quite comfortably?

Have heard its an issue with the Hydraclear. Women usually notice an incompatability first while it appears in men sometime down the road. Some sort of link between the properties of Hydraclear and makeup. Women find out sooner as they have developed sensitivities to makeup ingredients and thus react sooner, while men typically don't wear makeup, thus taking longer for the problem to rear its head. No concrete data on this, but makes some sense.

So does that mean that a woman will notice the symptoms first and say "A-ha, I must be having some sort of reaction to the contact lenses," or is it that they develop the symptoms sooner because their systems are sort of "on alert" already from the makeup?

Am I understanding correctly?
