For many with vision problems, contact lenses are an ideal solution. They offer an uninhibited range of vision and have progressed so much in quality that they are often unnoticeable to the wearer once they’re in.
However, one common issue we run into with contact lens wearers is dry eyes. Thankfully, there are many options to treat this issue and find the right solution for you. With a variety of lenses and other products on the market today, dry eyes for contact lens wearers can often be treated fairly easily. You may be concerned that you won’t be able to continue wearing contact lenses, but these days that is rarely a necessity. In most cases, we can find a solution to your dry eye problem so that you are able to remain a contact lens wearer.
One of the best advances made in contact lenses is the improvement of dailies—that is, lenses that you wear for a day and then discard. These are a great first option for someone struggling with dry eyes. Other possibilities include switching to a lower water content lens, lubricated eye drops (over-the counter or prescription—make sure you work with us to determine the best product), a different cleaning solution…the options are many.
