I have Really really dry eyes?!

I have the same problem- mostly in the dry, winter air. Try sleeping with a humidifier on. Keep plenty of lights on so your eyes aren't straining. And turn down the brightness of your computer screen.

I cannot tell you why your eyes are dry over the computer.

There are many different types of dry eye because there are many causes of dry eye.

Go see an eye doctor (like the one who gave you the contacts) for a dry eye workup. There are LOTS of treatments we can do that no one really should have to walk around with dry eye. Ever.

Your tear film is a very thin layer of fluid that covers the entire front surface of your eye, including your cornea. It is made of up 3 layers: lipid, aqueous, and mucin. If any one of these layers is disrupted or not working right, it messes up the other layers, and causes you to have dry eye. The eye doctor can run a few simple tests to figure out which layer is having a problem and then give the appropriate treatment to fix it.

The fact that you wear contact lenses makes you more prone to dry eye because contact lenses do decrease the amount of oxygen that gets to the cornea (even the newer silicone hydrogel lenses such as Acuvue Oasys; although they are better than the older types of lenses). So your doctor may also consider switching you to a different brand or type of contact lens and that may also help with your dry eye.

Regardless, go see your eye doctor. We cannot help you here.

ADD:
Well, if it is like 12 AM, maybe you should go to bed. You can't feel your dry eyes when you are sleeping, right?

No one is telling you to go see your eye doctor at this very instant; that's ridiculous.

If the eye drops don't help you and your eyes are still dry, the other thing you can do is quit wearing your contacts and wear your glasses instead. That may help. Otherwise, there is nothing you or anyone can do until you see your doctor tomorrow.

The "older" your contacts the drier they will feel due to the protein buildup.

Try using Systane Ultra 15 minutes before you put your lenses in your eyes in the morning, several times throught the day and before bedtime. Drink more water, if that doesn't help your optometrist can put punctal plugs in your lacrimal ducts which often help.

Change your lenses more often or try Acuvue oaysis or 1 days.
