Contact Lens questions for sensitive eyes?!


Question: My optomitrist finally gave up on me today saying I have sensitive eyes and there is nothing left to try.
I tried 3 different lenses (including oasys) and two multi solutions but I'm still getting gritty eye.
I like the Biofinity lens best as it drys out my eyes less and now use a preservitive free multi solution that helps a little. After the third day I can't take the gritty any longer.
Any suggestions would be great re: solution, daily disposibles, drops etc.

oooh boy that is a tough one. A rule of thumb I've developed 1) If you have dry eye problems when wearing contacts it is best to go with a silicone hydrogel because your eye is likely being irritated by reduced oxygen and a change in the superficial physiology of the cornea (my favorite is O2 Optix).
2) If your eyes are naturally dry even without contacts go with something thin because the thicker silicone hydrogel with cause more friction

My lens recommendations would be Proclear, Proclear 1-day (which avoids solution and cumulative irritataion) and O2 Optix.... for solution I just like a peroxide that doesn't have preservatives such as Clear Care

Have you considered eye laser surgery? I hear it works on some people. It is very expensive though. Otherwise give up and spend your money on really cool frames for your glasses and sunnies. No shame in wearing them.

i have sensitive eyes. i don't know if mine are as sensitive as yours, but i use Extreme H2O thin contacts and i use Complete contact solution. this is the best combo i've found for myself in 14 years.
