How to make contacts more comfortable
Before we get to the four main tips, we have a few questions. Are you overwearing your contacts? Sleeping in them? Are your contacts inside out or dirty? No? Okay, good. Any of those things could lead to uncomfy contacts (and even eye health problems).
- Use eye drops. Eye drops are great for lubricating dry eyes. If you’re using them while wearing contacts, just be sure to use rewetting eye drops that are meant to be used with contacts (the bottle will let you know).
- Consider taking nutritional supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids (found in flaxseed oil and some fish) have been shown to increase the quantity and quality of natural tears.
- Try different types of contact lenses. Not all contacts are created equal—some are more comfortable than others, especially for people with dry eyes. If you haven’t already, give daily contacts a shot. They have a well-earned reputation for being super comfy.
- Keep your contacts clean. Take care of your contacts, and they’ll take care of you. If that’s not an old saying, it should be. Make sure to follow the cleaning and care instructions for your prescribed lenses.
If you try all the tips and are still uncomfortable, you should talk to your eye doctor. Severe eye pain, swelling, persistent redness/irritation, and signs of infection are just a few symptoms of severe eye problems.
