How do i keep my eyes from getting dry when wearing hard contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness: Firstly, see your doctor to make sure your contact is fitting well. An ill-fitting hard contact can cause dryness. Then you can try lubricating drops. If this alone is not sufficient, other dry eye treatments (punctal plugs and restasis) can be considered.
