Symptoms of Dry Eyes in Contact Lens Wearers
Dry eyes are a problem for many who wear contact lenses. While certain medications and diseases may cause a lack of tears and result in dry eyes, the problem can be exacerbated by wearing contact lenses. Soft contact lenses are especially problematic for those who already have dry eyes because the lenses absorb water from the surface of the eye making the problem worse. Those who suffer from dry eyes may experience the following symptoms:
• Redness
• Tearing of the eye
• Burning of the eye
• Feeling as though a foreign object is in the eye
Contact lens wearers who experience these symptoms should consult their eye doctor to see if a different type of contact lens might alleviate the symptoms.

I have bad habits with my contacts. I wear them longer than the 30 recommended days and often sleep with them in (5 or 6 nights a week). I have been doing this for about a year. I was wondering how dangerous these practices really are. Am I causing damage to my eyes?
