The contact lens is an incredible invention, enhancing the visual experience for millions of people fortunate enough to be able to wear them. However, this also means that contact lens users are placing an optical device on their tear film for many hours every day. This additional stress to the tear film can lead to symptoms of dry eyes, especially if the environment is dry or windy. The best way to avoid these symptoms and continue wearing contact lenses, is to ensure the optimal health of their natural tear film.
