How can you make your eyes less dry?

February 8, 2007 5:17am CST
I have dry eyes and my new contacts keep dryng out. I have comfort drops but they only work for a short while then I have to put more in. I'm waiting on the shop getting in the special ones for dry eyes, but for now I have normal ones. How else can you make your eyes less dry other than fresh air, comfort drops and blinking lots?

I don't think there is much you can do to prevent dry eyes other than what you are doing. What is the problem with the contacts just now. is it because of the pH of them or something. can you not just where your glasses til the new ones come in because you might damage your eyes. Maybe take out the contacts while your sitting at the computer.

Being in a room with bright lights on all the tim eor not sleeping in the dark can influence dry eye. Wearing contacts for more than 8 hours a day reduces the eyes natural ability to breathe which causes dry eye. Lack of humidity in a room can also cause it as well.

Not sleeping in the dark? How does that make a difference? Thanks for the tips.

Try crying once in a while. It's good for your eyes.
