“Can you use contact lenses with dry eyes?”

Great question.... the answer to your question can only be answered by your eye doctor after a face-to-face visit; maybe yes, maybe no. The nature and the reasons for your dry eye must be evaluated by doing a Schirmer tear test which will determine if your tears are forming adequately, a tear break-up time test, a fluorescein test which will show how dry your eyes actually are. And a big question is, "is there any significant corneal dryness" that can be treated or needs to be treated. Also, corneal measurements, eye pressure measurements, a refraction to determine your actual prescription, and a retinal evaluation and ocular health assessment must all be done. Other factors that need to be considered include your age, health concerns, and medications being used. As 1 example, antihistamines can contribute to a dry eye problem. Once your eye doctor has the "full picture", he or she can offer you what may be available including highly oxygenated and high-water content daily lenses or something that you may use as needed. There may also be drops prescribed such as rewetting drops to be used with the contact lenses and a dry eye drop or ointment that would be used when the contact lenses were not being worn. Good luck and best wishes.

It’ll make it worse , but you can use blink for contacts
