Ben --
Just saw this post -- did you use the "daily enzymatic drops" or the "weekly
enzymatic tablets" that fizz? I've had no luck with the drops (as far as
removing chile) but the tablets have worked for me -- I use Alcon brand
(standard disclaimer). Also, remember that it is highly probable that you
still had chiles on your hands when you put your contacts in the next
morning. I've had this problem before -- remove contacts prior to handling
chiles, cook spicy dinner, wash hands, sleep, shower, place contacts in
eyes -- excruciating pain! I'm telling you, this stuff is hard to get
completely off of your hands. Again, good luck.
Matt

You've got tougher eyes than I. I soaked the contacts in an enzymatic
cleaner last night and put them in this morning. My eyes burned for 60 of
the teariest minutes of my life. I figured after all that I would at least
have restored vision - like Spider-man when he got his powers.
