• Tiredness
• Allergies
• Wearing contact lenses longer than recommended
• Poor lens care
• Poor lens fit
• Sensitivity to lens materials or solutions

If you happen to have red eyes, it may also point to the fact that your eyes not getting sufficient oxygen, which can lead to discomfort.

Help for eyes that feel dry

Your eyes contain a healthy and comfortable layer of moisture over them, which occur naturally. However, rooms that are too hot or that are air-conditioned, smoke, dust or wind can throw your eyes out of balance and lessen this naturally occurring moisture. Prolonged computer use can also cause this issue, because you tend to blink less in this regard. The result of this is nothing but dehydrated contact lenses and eyes that feel dry or irritated.

Your eyes have the ability to recover on their own. But in the meantime, here’s what you can do to rectify the problem:

• Try to use rewetting drops recommended by your optometrist.
• Wear your contact lenses only as long as your optometrist recommends.
• Clean your contacts well to reduce surface deposits and other buildup.
• Blink more frequently to maintain a comfortable layer of moisture.
• Consider using daily disposable contacts such as 1-DAY ACUVUE^®MOIST^®
• Consider using a silicone hydrogel contact lens such as ACUVUE^®OASYS^® Brand, ACUVUE^® ADVANCE^®PLUS Brand or 1-DAY ACUVUE^® TruEye^® Brand—they’re designed to maintain moisture
