Thanks for this advice! Great to know we have an eye doctor in our midst.

The other thing that might be causing some irritation and redness is if you are straining to see clearly. Make sure your glasses prescription is up to date. Almost everyone over 40 needs help with their near vision and musicians typically need a prescription for music that is about halfway between their distance and reading strengths.

I had a pair of middle-distance (~1 M) glasses made after my superb Zeiss multifocals turned everything into a blur in an orchestra pit setting. These turned out to be perfect for computer work as well (my profession), so I had another pair made up to the same prescription that look more "professional" and live in my work-tote.

Multifocals have their place, but an orchestra pit is not one of them.
