What To Do If Your Contact Lenses Dont Feel Comfortable

Many people give up wearing contact lenses because they can never get
used to them. The lenses just don't feel comfortable. If this is your
case don't give up just yet; there are several things you can do to
make your lenses more comfortable.

If you contact lenses feel dry

How many glasses of water do you have every day? Not soda, coffee or
tea, but water? It is possible that your dry eyes are a result of
general dehydration. Try to drink more water. We all know that water
is on the "good for you" list, but we often forget about it during our
busy days.

If you work at the computer all day, your eyes are definitely drier
than they would be, otherwise. The reason is that while peering at the
screen people blink much less than usual. You can't control your
blinking, but you can try closing your eyes for a few seconds, at
regular intervals.

Do you drink a lot of tea, coffee or soda that contains caffeine? They
all are dehydrators so, if you like coffee, you need to drink even
more water than usual.

Also you can ask your doctor if silicon-hydrogel contact lenses would
suit you. New generation silicon-hydrogel contacts don't block oxygen
flow to your eyes as much as ordinary lenses. Quite often contact lens
wearers report that silicon-hydrogel contacts, like Acuvue Advance,
Focus Night and Day or O2 Optix, solved their dry-eyes problem

Eye drops can also be a solution, but only if your eyes occasionally
feel dry. You shouldn't use eye drops all the time

You constantly feel the lens in your eye

High quality contact lenses that are properly fitted to your eyes
should feel like you have nothing in your eye at all. See if these
recommendations can help.

Are you often exposed to cigarette smoke or dirty environments? Tiny

Or, do what I did: get LASIK surgery! 20/20 vision WITHOUT glasses
OR contacts! (I was 20/200 before it!) Not cheap, but it will pay
for itself in 10 - 12 years with what you save on lenses and cleaning
supplies.
