You may have dry eyes which may cause your eyes to feel irritated when you wear your contacts. It’s important to treat the underlying cause of dry eyes to help relieve your symptoms. You may also be abusing your contact lenses, meaning you wear them longer than the contact lens wear schedule or you sleep in your lenses, and this improper contact lens hygiene may be the cause. Additionally, you may be wearing contacts that don’t have a high oxygen permeability so your eye doctor may need to switch you out into a different brand and/or a different contact lens modality. It’s important to have a proper contact lens evaluation by your eye doctor to determine the cause of your irritated eyes and then determine the best course of treatment for you.
