A member asked:
When wearing contact lenses, does it feel uncomfortable and do they make your eyes dry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For some people, yes: Contact lenses for most people are very comfortable, but for some they are not. They will not cause dry eye, but if you have dry eye, you may find contacts to be uncomfortable and irritating.
