What can i do about sore eyes from wearing contacts in an air conditioned office?

Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Dry eye: It sounds like you have dry eyes. You can try some contact lens rewetting drops. If this fails to solve the problem, make an appointment with an ophthalmologist (Eye MD).
