Hi Lizzie,

This may sound really obvious, but I didn't realize it for a while. I find that when I wear my contacts and I'm dehydrated my contacts get really dry. Like after a night of heavy drinking (since alcohol is a diuretic) taking off my contacts feels like rubbing sand paper against my eyes. I always make sure I drink a lot of water (or gatorade) after drinking. So maybe drinking a lot of water will help.

Hello, I use to work for in the optometry field, you might want to talk to your Dr. about changing contacts, not sure what your wearing now, but accuvue 2's are good lenses, also the H2O they are good for dry eyes, also the Proclear are great for dry eyes, what type of contacts are you wearing? Hard or Soft? bifocal? or just single vision? do you have allergys?? write back and let me know, Takecare
Michaela
