I never had dry eyes until a few years after I started wearing contacts.
I’m getting so fed up that I’ll probably get lasik. I hate glasses with a passion. No side vision, plus they look stupid on me and get dirty easily. Plus, you can lose them, step on them, sleep on them.. etc. They SUCK.
But why do contacts dry your eyes out in the first place? I’m so tired of all these issues with glasses and contacts.
One of the most common causes for “dry eye” with contact lenses is the contact lens solution.
One of the relative contraindications to lasik is dry eye syndrome.
If you have not tried one-day disposables, give them a try. They come in sterile saline and need no care solutions. If the “dry eye” goes away, you know the problem was the contact lens solution and not the contact lens or your eyes.
If one-day lenses are too expensive for you, you could try switching to ClearCare solution. This is a peroxide-based care system. It is important to follow the directions carefully with this solution, but it does not cause sensitivity reactions and “dry eye”.
Good luck.

My teacher, being the light headed blond botox filled idiot that she is forgot to teach us the meaning of the symbol. I cannot type it out but it looks like an upsidown T. Please help and thank you
⟂ I believe is what you are referring to. It’s the symbol for the word “perpendicular.” Such as A ⟂ B is something like side A is perpendicular to B or vector A is perpendicular to B or whatever. It doesn’t matter the context its in, it always means perpendicular. Incase you see it soon || is parallel.
Also here is a link to a list of mathematical symbols and their meanings in different contexts:

2 years after having Lasik surgery my eyes are dry all the time. Does anyone else have the same issue?
I’m finding myself dependent on Visine to alleviate the dryness.
Lots of people, but only a small percentage of the number having Lasik.
(the numbers opting for Lasik are very high, so the two statements do not contradict)
“dry eye after LASIK may last for a prolonged period of time and can even become permanent. It is crucial that patients consider the potential for chronic dry eye after LASIK among the risks associated with refractive surgery.” from URL below.
Ordinary Visine is not really intended for prolonged regular use, in fact it can cause rebound redness if so employed. A lubricant without vasoconstrictor would normally be recommended. Visine’s dry eye formulation *is* suitable for repeated use.
Alcon’s Systane is the most effective as reported by my patients (UK product)
Beyond lubricants, blocking the tear ducts can afford more prolonged relief. This can be done temporarily with punctal plugs as a trial, and if successful more permanent plugs can be inserted, or the ducts surgically closed.
