2manyfurkids Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Just got new contact lenses and they seem to hurt my eyes. I switched to Acuvue Hydraclear and they are alittle better. After a few hours though, my eyes feel real dry and I just want to take them out. Maybe I just need to wear them longer and get used to them. Anybody else experience this?

MightyMouse Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't have the dry eye issues --but I have to admit sadness when they pulled the extended rellief lens solution off the market. My issue is that I don't wear my contacts all the time, and when I do, I am bad about working my way up to longer time. The extended relief solution let me wear them once in a while and wear them all day without any dryness. Oh well, guess having the stuff of the market is good if the stuff was so closely tied to fungal eye infections.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I carry around a small bottle of saline around because my eyes dry out as well. It'd make sense that since tear production is the job of the ANS anyone with ANS damage is suseptable to lessened tear production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM3KIDZ Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 My contacts do the same thing. I used to wear contacts all day and now since POTS I've been in glasses for 2yrs except for special events.Dayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bttrflyamby1981 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I posted something about contacts myself a few weeks ago. Because I can't wear contacts myself.I want to so bad, but it's almost like I get a migraine as soon as they touch my eye. That and they become blury.

Dawg Tired Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I wore contacts for 17 years - no problem... then I got this stuff and it was like overnight I couldn't wear them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eillyre Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have rarely had trouble with my lenses. Dryness has never been a big problem for me although I do keep the drops on hand just in case.Sorry you're having trouble! Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 my diagnosis is not longer POTS, but my eyes are definitely dryer than they were in the past (as is pretty much every other area of my body). but i can still wear my contacts. i have special ones though that are the most breathable out there & definitely pay extra for them. i can't see as well in glasses (b/c of no peripheral vision) so will do anything/everything i can to stay in contacts....more for vision sake than vanity sake. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferInOhio Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 My eyes have always been dry even pre-pots. I use acuvue lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
