One of the most uncomfortable sensations anyone can experience is dry eyes. If you don’t wear contact lenses, you might have had do deal with dry eyes before, but not to the extent of those who do wear contact lenses. When your vision is good enough that you don’t need lenses, or if you wear glasses or had corrective laser surgery, you can simply walk into any convenience store and purchase Visine. This is a product that has been around for many decades, which is a tribute to its effectiveness. People will use it to rewet their eyes or to remove redness or irritation. When you wear contact lenses, dealing with dry eyes isn’t nearly as simple.
Why are your eyes quicker to dry when you wear contact lenses? Simply because there is not as much oxygen reaching your eyes. When you put your contact lenses in your eyes in the morning, you won’t have any problem at all. Even around lunchtime and the late afternoon, they shouldn’t bother you. But if you’re still wearing them by the evening, you might have to deal with dry eyes, which in some instances can be severe. If you don’t have solution with you, don’t plan on finding rewetting drops for contact lenses. These are very difficult to find, most likely because they don’t sell well. A better option will be the smallest bottle of solution you can find and drip it directly into your eyes. As long as you’re using your regular brand, which your eyes have become accustomed to, you shouldn’t have any problems. Another time you will experience severe dry eyes is when you fall asleep with your contact lenses in. When you wake up, sometimes it can get so bad that you will have trouble opening your eyes. Don’t worry, your eyes won’t be closed shut forever. A few attempts at a blink and you will be fine.
What is the best brand of contact lenses to ensure maximal oxygen will reach your eyes? Optix. These are designed to allow more oxygen into your eyes. Biomedics are also good, especially if you have large eyes. Acuvue might be the most popular, but they’re not good for large eyes and they don’t allow for a lot of oxygen to enter the eye. If you have sensitive eyes, you will also be more likely to get an infection. To keep your eyes from getting dry, stick with Optix or Biomedics.

What are some good contacts for dry eyes?
from experience, I would suggest...be sensible and use contact lenses only and only when needed, for example, a social occasion, etc. Definitely avoid use when sitting in front of the computers, since you already have dry eyes, it will only worsen the condition. Otherwise in choices of lenses, daily disposable, moist is recommended. Don’t have a healthy 20/20 vision? No need to worry you can choose from eyeglasses or contact lenses anytime. Well, there is no better choice, it all depends on what suits you. Both have pros and cons, it is on you to choose as per your comfort and preference. Contact lenses can be worn with or without prescriptions. The small, plastic disks can be worn in the eye’s cornea and cover to fix the refractive error and the individual can get better vision.
