According to U.S. eyecare professionals, roughly one in four patients experience symptoms of dry eye, making it the most common ocular complaint among North Americans. Dry eyes occur when the eyes don’t produce adequate tears to keep the eyes lubricated and comfortable. Tears production can be limited for a few reasons, including tear duct injury, dry environment, and weather exposure. However, if you suffer from dry eyes already, wearing contacts can make the symptoms even worse.
Luckily, the following contacts work best for patients with dry eyes

1. Biofinity Energy
These disposable, breathable contact lenses, manufactured by CooperVision, are best for those with lots of screen exposure, which leads to dry eyes. In fact, Biofinity Energy contact lenses were voted the top pick among contact wearers for reducing tired, dry eyes linked directly to long-term digital eye strain. The secret to Biofinity success is the spherical contact lens design, which not only lets the eyeball breathe, but also reduces overall ciliary muscle stain. Made with proprietary contact lens technology that actually binds water via the lens material, contact wearers claim Biofinity Energy lenses can work for a maximum of 7 days and 6 nights of extended wear before replacing.

2. Acuvue Oasys 
Another disposable contact lens that is worn by both near- and farsighted patients, Acuvue Oasys can also be worn by patients with astigmatism and lack of eye moisture for up to two weeks (days only) or six straight days and nights, non-stop. Acuvue Oasys contact lenses are made using patented Hydraclear Plus, which make for not only an extremely comfortable wearing experience that keeps eyes moist and comfortable; but each lens comes with inside out markings so the wearer can insert them for a comfortable fit every time

3. Dailies Total 1
Some patients prefer to start each new day with clean, fresh contacts. Made in models for near and far sighted as well as patients with astigmatism and presbyopia, Dailies Total 1 lenses are manufactured with blink-activated moisturizing technology for a comfortable daily wear.  Enjoy the extreme convenience of wearing them for the day and then throwing them away for a new pair the following day.

4. Proclear 1 Days
Another disposable daily contact for daily wear and replacement with a new pair each day, Proclear 1 Days are also manufactured by CooperVision (like Biofinity Energy lenses). Using the same patented spherical contact lens construction, Proclear 1 Days allow oxygen and breathability, lessen ocular muscle stain, and resist the tendency to dry out throughout the day no matter how long you stare at a screen. Proclear lenses are the ideal contact lenses in a moist and comfortable daily wear option.

5. 1-Day Acuvue Moist
Don’t want the hassle of contact lens daily cleaning and hygienic storage? Well then 1-Day Acuvue Moist contact lenses are a fantastic option for daily only lens wearers who tend to experience discomfort with extended wear lenses. Just insert a fresh pair each morning and toss them out at the end of the day. Patented Lacreon technology ensures tons of moisture is built right into each contact lens for a cushioned, flexible wear. Acuvue wearers claim the moisture technology feels exactly like natural tears, and extra plus, these daily lenses promise to lessen UV exposure by up to 97-percent.

Contact lens wearers now have tons of options when it comes to keeping their eyes moist and comfortable. Be sure to review consumer experiences, and ask your eye care professional for free contacts, torn lens replacement, and the option for contact lens trial for any of the above great options.
