does anyone else get super dry eyes when wearing contacts and if so do you have any suggestions on how to help it?

I did and I tried everything to no avail :/ had to give up on them bc they would stick to the inside of my eyelids when I blinked. Finally swore them off after one nearly got stuck behind my eye 😭

Honestly eye drops. I get dry eyes with my contacts and because I smoke pretty heavily but the visine hydrating eye drops help with the blurry vision and dryness and they aren’t for whitening or brightening they are just drops

You might have to try a different brand if the rehydrating eye drops don’t work

I was on the daily ones 🥲 maybe my eyes are just especially fucked up so hopefully that and eye drops can help!

And it’s kinda gross but sometimes you just gotta get them wet and wiggle the contact around so you can get some moisture underneath

And again it’s a gross process but even if you have daily’s it’s good to remember that you can always carry a case and just take them out and dip them in solution to wet them again and pop them back in maybe just dump and refill the solution often

Yea that too. I use daily’s but I’ve been using Acuvue since I got them and they have always been a nice wet contact😂
