Re: What is a good type of contacts for dry eyes?

I have very dry eyes and have had difficulty keeping contact lenses in
my eyes more than 4 hours. My eye doctor gave me Acuvue Oasys to try.
They were more comfy than my previous Acuvue 2's, but felt "tight"
after a while. Now I'm trying Oasys in the new 8.8 base curve. Today
was my fist day, and they seem to fit better. I haven't tried wearing
them over 6 hours yet. If these don't work out, my doc will let me try
either Proclear or similar (but cheaper) Biomedics XC.lenses.

By blocking fewer wavelengths of light than the yellow lenses, perhaps the reduction in total light reaching the eyes will be less, so the pupils will dilate less in response. ...
