thats interesting to know, i wear my lenses 12+ hours when i work so i assume my eyes are just tired from overwearing the lens..

I have never thought of that!
I've spent SO much money at the eye doctor trying to figure it out. I used to wear my contacts all day, everyday without a problem and now it's hard to wear them for a few hours without my eyes getting red.

yeah - i went two or three times before i finally got a female eye doctor and it was the first thing she said!!
i was using all these special eye drops - different ones for day and night. . . this crazy cleaner that if i took it out one minute too early it wasnt neutralized it would burn through my eyes. . .everything!
definitely mention it to the doc!

Re: BC and contact lenses
nope..i've been wearing them for years! never any problems, some dryness, itchiness and sometimes they get annoying (routine stuff) but not often!

Re: BC and contact lenses
This side effect is the first thing my obgyn mentioned to me Now I do not even know what's worth: having terrible cramps on your wedding day or wear glasses
For the girls who are using eye drops: which ones?? any recommendations?

I've never had any problems and I'm on Yaz.
I think it effects everyone differently but I spoke to my doctor and she said that is a possible side effect

Re: BC and contact lenses
on BC, but no contact troubles. maybe it's got something to do with the allergy season?
