A member asked:

I suffer with stress and anxiety problems and i also wear contact lenses if that could make a difference?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Contact does not effect your mood, but it helps you to see and correct your vision. However, if you take medication for anxiety or depression then some of these medications may make the eyes dryer. Contact lens can cause dry eyes and if you add additional drying agent ie mood meds the dry eye may get worse.
