I have contacts and my eyes start to feel dry and/or irritated at the end of the day?

Question

Does this happen to you?

Answer 1

yes, its normal. They feel dry for me right now

Answer 2

yea thats totally 100% normal. everybody who wears contacts feels that. the thing is u shud have special eye drops to pop in to keep ur eyes moist. contacts block oxygen from fully bathing ur eyes so its natural for them to be irritated after a long time.

thats the downside of them, altho the biggest downside to me is the fact that im too scared to itch my eyes with them in.

Answer 3

Use eye drops or your solution!

Answer 4

sometimes you go through dry stages. I think its only temporary but if it persists maybe you should change your perscriptions.  

Answer 5

I have the same problem sometimes, especially when my disposable lenses get old. I just drop in some saline solution from a travel-size bottle and then blink it out, that always helps. Also, when I first started wearing lenses my doctor said I should take them out after 8-10 hours and wear glasses, like at night after class or work. That gives your eyes a break and lets them get oxygen. One tip: Never sleep in them!! It's not worth the pain and gooey yuckiness that come out. Besides, you will need the practice to touch your eyes every morning and night :)

Answer 6

Ya...it's simply because you need more contact solution.
