Contact Lenses

[Reapuh]

Seems like everyday I wear them, my eyes get very tired after 8+ hours of wearing them, and irritating blurry.

Anything I can do to help this? Or can my eye doctor do something?

I've been wearing the same brand of contacts for 5+years, Acuve Advance with Hydraclear. It's just gotten to the point where I'm tired all the time after wearing them..

Mine have been bothering me a lot too. I can't wear them for that long without my eyes feeling really dry and irritated. I only wear them to school or when I go out. Just wear your glasses around the house.

Four eyes!

I gave up trying... I'd be fine for days, but then all of a sudden I was having these attacks that felt like fiberglass shards were raking over my eyeballs when I had them in...

You should wear extended wear contacts. I wear PureVision. I take them out once a week after I mow the grass, clean them and put them right back in. I even sleep in them. I have no problems other than if I stay up too late they start to get somewhat dry, but that's like a 14-16 hr day.

Are you using an enzyme remover? Rewetting drops also will help. I wear hard contacts and these are a must.

Also depends on your type of work. If I'm on the computer all day, I can't wear my contacts. I know how you feel.

agreed. no computer for me either. love them for the pool etc though

Nope, and it will get worse with time. Sure, you can use reqetting drops/a good cleaning solution, but after about 10 years of contacts my eyes just wouldn't put up with them anymore. At one point, I would get migraines only 1-2 hours after wearing them. Get laser eye surgery when you can, it's beyond worth it.

I've been wearing contacts for about 12 years and am not having those problems.

I've been using Oaysis, and they are just fine for me. Sure they cost more (I get them at Sam's Club, 6 months at a time, so not too bad), but they don't irritate my eyes at all.

This. I too have night and days and extended wear.

i cant wear them. just find a pair of glasses that you like and stick with them. cant go wrong with glasses!

I have daily contacts...they are more money but I love putting in a new pair of contacts every day. My eyes thank me, I never have dryness issues unless I sleep in them, usually by accident.
