Plenty of myths exist surrounding eye care and vision and one news provider has set out to debunk them.Dr Kenneth McCandless, an optometrist from Las Vegas, told the Las Vegas Review Journal it is untrue that people with dry eyes cannot wear contact lenses.
He said dry eyes "can cause more discomfort and decreased wearing time of contact lenses", but good optometrists can help evaluate the condition to help tailor individual treatment options.
This is very true, and good news for dry eye people!
I've always had dry eyes, so much that I participated in several contact lens studies for dry eyed people. However I still wear contact lenses, just not as long as most other people. I wear them for sports and some special events, but rarely for more than 5 hours at a time, often less than three.
