I use the Refresh drops at night though, after my contacts are out (not while I'm wearing my contacts). I get the heavy duty drops that are thick and almost gelatinous (for when my eyes are SUPER DRY) and whatever regular ones they have on the shelf as long as they are the single use and Refresh brand. Also, they're expensive, but the other thing that helps my dry eyes is those Refresh eye drops that come in the little single use tubes. glasses), the eye doctor also said to use either Opti-Free Pure Moist REWETTING drops or Blink rewetting drops during the day while I have my contacts in. Since I tend toward dry eyes and also tend to wear my contacts too many hours in a day (when I do wear them vs. Well, let's just say I've never made that mistake again and I'm glad I had a bottle of saline on hand to rinse my eye out. One time (just once) I somehow managed to squirt the contact solution directly into my eye or I squirted it directly onto a contact lens and put it in my eye (despite the obvious warnings around the top of the bottle). This has allowed me to continue wearing contacts. I had to switch in my late 20s to this type of (hydrogen peroxide) contact solution because ALL other types of contact lens solution no longer were compatible with my eyes all of a sudden-my eyes just could not tolerate contacts any longer-and the eye doctor said to take a few week break and then start using the contact solution linked to above and get a bottle of plain saline to rinse them with in the morning before putting the contacts in (one cheap bottle of generic contact saline lasts a LONG time used this way). This is what I use daily on my 1-month disposables.
I have the 2-week disposables and use just saline every night and this stuff at the one-week mark. It mentions "enhances protein removal" and it certainly helps my contacts feel cleaner.
In the spring and fall when my allergies are bad, the fresh, new pair of contacts really help my eyes feel more comfortable when the pollen is super high.ĭaily lenses are thinner, but I am only reminded of that when I am cutting onions I switched to dailies and never looked back! I tend to stretch them and wear the same pair for a couple of days, and then toss them. I used to have issues with protein build-up on my contacts. And I have a really complicated prescription, so I know they work for a lot of folks. With dailies, yes, a tear means you are one day short, but if you schedule your next eye doc visit right, you usually wind up with some extras at the end of the year anyway. With monthlies or annuals, if you have a tear in a lens it's a huge deal. I don't wear them more than one day, but you could if necessary. And easy to stretch it past a year by wearing glasses at home on occasion. I only use a saline rinse on them in the morning, which winds up lasting for MONTHS because I only use a tiny bit, and then boom, fresh lenses every day. I was having a lot of dry eye from eye strain a couple of years ago (too much computer work!), and I made the switch to dailies and never looked back.
Between the rebate and my insurance co-pay, it comes out to cheaper than when I was purchasing regular (monthly) disposable contact lenses through Costco. I purchase a year's worth at a time and the brand always seems to have a rebate offer going on. I also put a pair in my purse for emergencies (you never know when a lens will pop out of your eye ). You can stretch your supply by wearing the same contacts a couple extra days. Always a fresh pair each day and on the days you're home you can choose to just wear eyeglasses. Are daily-disposable contact lenses an option for you? I switched a couple years ago and it's been a game-changer.
