I use the NuvaRing and have had dry eye issues since I started. I actually never thought about the two things being related until I mentioned to the opthalmologist that I was having issues with major dry eyes when I wear my contacts (and as such I now ONLY wear them to go out; I'm always in my glasses now) and he told me that if I use birth control, that is a side effect.
