Recent issues causing concern

Postby golfpaul » Thu 27 Jul 2017 1:37 pm

Hi all.
I've had this issue for around 7-8 years and have always managed it with rgp lenses, not 100 percent effect but the best I could hope for.
Recently though, maybe 3 months ago, they started to be more painful. I use eye drops throughout the day but these were becoming less effective at wetting, or clearing any issue in the eye. Also, one of my eyelids feels very heavy and is noticeably more droopy than the other, and my eyes are so dry.
I've also had the rgp go to the corner of the eye, this has happened twice in one week.
Could anyone offer any advice, and could you recommend any drops for dry eyes?
Thanks in advance.

Contact lenses shouldn't be painful. Perhaps slightly uncomfortable if one has worn them for too long but not painful. It could be that your lenses don't fit as well as they should so it could be worth getting a check-up.
