Challenging environments such as prolonged computer work often lead to discomfort and dry eyes especially when wearing contact lenses. Although these symptoms are related to the environment and tear film quality, they are also associated with the quality of the contact lens material. Your eyecare practitioner will be able to detect contact lens related drying. Ask your practitioner about moisture retaining contact lenses. Compared to conventional lenses, moisture retaining lenses dehydrate less and therefore increase your ability to wear them comfortably for longer periods leaving your eyes looking whiter and healthier.
