My contacts are so dry! What can I do?
One of the most common issues with contact lenses in Calgary, Alberta is the dryness.
What can we do about dryness? Here are some easy solutions:
- Use non-preserved teardrops or contact lens rewetting drops throughout the day. It is important to remember to use them BEFORE you start to notice the dryness.
- Try a different polymer or type of contact. Daily lenses will usually give you more relief than biweekly or monthly lenses. Contact lens companies recognize that dryness is an issue and are always developing new contacts.
- If you are working on a digital device, make sure you follow the 20:20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds. When you break also do two to three full complete blinks.
- Decrease your wearing time. Make sure you always take your contacts out one to two hours before bedtime.
