When looking to buy contact lenses for dry eyes, you should take a few things into consideration: comfort, high oxygen permeability, water content less than 50 percent, and moisture. “A lot has changed investing in new technologies to ensure better comfort and health in newer material and contact lenses,' says Rawzi Baik, OD, optometrist at The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation. If you’ve given up on your contact lenses because they weren’t compatible with your dry eyes, it’s possible you just didn’t have the right kind of lenses for your unique needs.
Contact lenses are convenient, customizable, and adaptable to your lifestyle-but having dry eyes can turn wearing contacts into an extremely uncomfortable experience and make your routine particularly frustrating.
