I am a contact lens wearer with very dry eyes - getting back to full time contacts wear, what tips do you have for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No contacts : Contact lens use will make your eyes more dry. If you already have very dry eyes at your young age, you may have serious dry eye symptoms later on in life. Consider not wearing contacts, or seek medical treatment now for your dry eyes.
