Contacts for Dry Eyes

If dry eye is constantly affecting your quality of life, finding the best contact lenses is step one to improve the issue. Luckily, there have been many options designed to help solve this problem. Here are some contact options to keep your eye on:

Soft lenses

Given that soft lenses result in the ability to hold less water, they are a great option to combat dry eye. High-water contacts will provide a substantial amount of moisture initially, and then dry out quickly after that. There are many models with smooth surfaces that will also help fight the problem of dry eye. 

Scleral

Scleral lenses are another great solution to help fight dry eye. These lenses have a large diameter that fit perfectly over the entire corneal surface of the eye that protects the front surface from getting too dry. Standard lenses usually don’t fit over the sclera, the white part of the eye. Scleral lenses are large enough to reach this area, which provides substantial comfort and long-lasting moisture.

Orthokeratology

This technique involves contacts that you only wear when you are asleep. These lenses actually reshape the front surface of your eyes, which helps fix multiple refractive errors, so you can see clearer during the day without the need for other contacts or glasses.
