A contact lens problem, really dry?

I have both glasses and contacts. Lately, I've been having so many problems with wearing my contact lenses. They are Acuvue 1-a- day Moist, yet they seem to dry out after only a few hours, go blurry, and hurt. This feels like the MILLIONTH brand I've tried. The eye doctor said it could maybe be my pills for acne (I take Adoxa) that are drying my eyes out more than usual. Has anyone ever heard of this being a side effect? If so, what can I do to make wearing contacts more comfortable?

  • i think its unfortunate that your contacts are really dry, but on the brightside you look beautiful in glasses!!!!

  • Maybe it's not the contacts, maybe it's you. You should have that figured out. I use Acuvue Oasis which are supposed to be for dry eyes and what not. If nothing helps, carry small eye solution...or even make yourself tear up. That's what I do when they start to get dry!

  • I'm not surprised that dry eyes could be a side effect of a particular medicine. try non medicated eye drops or rewetting drops.
