Hey Julie,

What kind of contacts are you wearing? If you're wearing soft lenses, there's a product called Blink that I hear is great for rewetting your lenses while they're still in your eyes.

I wear hard lenses (not by choice--I have keratokonus) and I'm an IT Specialist so I'm always at the computer. I work on the 40th floor and we can't open the windows to get real fresh air so the air in here can by dry at times which then make my eyes dry. I've been told to use Refresh eyedrops but I'm not good with eyedrops so I wind up taking my lenses out, giving them a quick wash and then popping them back in.

The following is based on my experiences with my hard lenses and maybe it may guide you to some point:

- maybe the material of your lenses need to be redone so that they can hold moisture better?
- maybe they're a bit tight and it's time for a refit?
- **what solution are you using?**
- do you change the solution you soak them in each night?
- are you sleeping while wearing them?

**I asked about the solution that you're using because there's been a recall of the Complete Moisture Plus solution because of contamination from China or something. You can read about that here and here. I'm sure you don't have the disease but knowledge is power!

Good luck and feel better!
