Answer 1

Make sure to put eye drops in before putting your contacts in. ALSO, make sure you know how long you can wear those contacts in for.. If they are 1 weeks and you are going on your 3rd week with them they will dry out your eyes QUICKLY and make you feel like how you explain.

Best of LUCK!!

First, use eye good eye drops regularly. Use 'refresh contact' to keep your eyes moist during the day, and try 'refresh endura' to moisten your eyes during the night- it'll make a huge difference in the morning.

Second, know your eyes. If your eyes ARE feeling really dry and drops aren't helping, take your contacts out, soak them in solution for 15-30 minutes, and put them back in- it's not worth risking damaging your eye for 30 minutes of painful but 'good' vision.

If it doesn't help, see your eye doctor- you may be experiencing more chronic dry eye unrelated to contact use.

You need a different kind of contacts, because you have very dry eyes.

Not to sound like a commercial, but I have very dry eyes too. My eye doctor prescribed Acuvue Oasys, and I love them. I wear my contacts for 10-12 hours every day, and I don't even feel them.

They are disposable contacts, which means you throw them away after two weeks, and I do take them out at night and rinse them off.

And another small commercial. Lens2See.com has them really cheap. I was paying $34 for a box of six from my eye doctor, and they have them for $22 a box online. If you order 8 boxes, you get  a $60 rebate, which makes them $15 a box.

Don't mess with the eye drops, etc., because those are chemicals that just mask problems. You need a better contact lens.

Tell your eye doctor what's going on, and he'll set you up.

And don't wear your contacts until you get new ones. Your old ones are damaging your eyes if they are causing you that many problems.

Answer 4

Go to a pharmacy and get Clear Eyes or Visine they will help.

Have you been cleaning your contacts regularly. Check them.

Answer 5

I am 100% the SAME way. I hate wearing contacts but get sick of my glasses too!!!

Make sure your solution is disinfecting also. Make sure they are clean and wet your eye before you put them in.

Talk to your eye doc about breathable contacts. Also you may have sensitive eyes or allergies.

My eyes get DRY DRY DRY - drops dont help.

Acuvue Oasis maybe?

Good luck...

Well today is 4/20... what have you been up to?

Answer 7

get allergy pills or use eyedrops. What works for me: Close eyes for a long time then blink repeatitively, give your tear ducts time to create tears
