Could my pills be leaving me susceptible
to frequent conjunctivitis? If so, what is
an alternative birth control method I
could use?

If it says so in the information packet
given with the pills then you should quit
either the pills or the contact lenses.
Frequent conjunctivitis is probably due to
that intolerance. If you quit the pills
you can try condoms because that is very
efficient, almost like the pills. IUDs are
also very efficient but it is not
recommended for women who have never
delivered.
