My eyes are always so dry and irritated?!?

Question

its probably my contacts that make my eyes so dry, and in the morning if i put my contacts on it gets really red and irritated, but in the afternoon if i put my contacts on theyre fine, but it still gets really dry, a lot of people with contacts dont experience this dryness so why do i? and even after i take them off, like now its really really dry and irritated and it wont go away, even if i put eye drops and stuff, i dont wear the contacts for long periods of time, but it still gets really dry and stuff, what can i do to stop it?

Answer 1

I don't think it's a solution allergy.  I don't know your age, but dryness and irritation in the morning can be a sign of posterior blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction.  In English, this means the oil glands are not functioning properly.  This causes the eye to be dryer in the morning.  One thing you can do at home is to get a hot washcloth, wrap it around your finger, and scrub/massage right where the eyelashes grow in.  Do this twice a day.  The heat and stimulation serve to help your oil glands to function as well as they can.  Also talk to  your doctor about prescriptive treatments, i.e, azasite eye drop, or an oral macrolide antibiotic.  Unfortunately, we're generally only treating the symptoms, if treatment stops, they can creep back up again.  Hope this helps.  If you want to know more:  http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions...

You might be allergic to the stuff that you put your contact lenses in! Try another brand and see if the symptoms persist, if so, then it's worth talking to your optimist about it, you might also need some eyedrops, such as ''artificial tears'' since you're not getting enough tears to keep your eyes moist. To me, this sounds alot like dry-eye syndrome. Or even blepharitis
