Hi Janet,

Yes, my eyes are also dry. I think this is from over use of the contact lenses. I have the gas permeable type. I wore the hard ones for years as that is what I started with in 1970. Never knew about the cornea not getting oxygen. I am used to that type so the gas perm are as close as I can get to them. I tried the soft lenses a few years ago and could not adapt. I use visine all the time and I know I probably shouldn't but it helps. I am trying to use my regular glasses at night instead of keeping the contacts in until bed time.
