if the eye drops are not made especially for contacts,that could be a problem. you should go without them all you can, to allow oxygen to get into your eyes.buy glasses for the weekends,and give your eyes a  break...try this... buy one bar of cediphil soap,and use  it untill the bar is gone. this soap is dr. recomended. by the time you use it up, and wiyhout using your old brand,or letting anyone else even touch your bar of soap,use on entire body. the best way to keep a check on your progress,is to just watch your hands. you will see your hands start almost emediatly, looking younger and smother. this is probably the last kind of answer you were looking for, but for just under four dollars ,you can find out. i hope this works for you.even if this don't  stop your itching,i'll bet you stay with the soap.{one more} , and then i'll go.everyone in the household should have  his or her private bar of soap.never share!   hope this helps!

This time of year simple allergies can cause it.  There are several products on the market for this.  I myself use "Allergans" liquid-gel tears.  The thicker fluid of this product stays with you longer and definitely is refreshing to your eyes.

You need contact lense eyedrops. Be very careful if you eyes are getting excessively dry - I wore contacts for 10 years and my eyes progressively got dryer until my eyes rejected contacts altogether and I had to stop wearing them at all. The optometrist says the membrane on my eyes are rough from being too dry which I why I can't wear them now. Also don't use eyedrops that are to 'brighten' your eyes, these contain alcohol which make your eyes even dryer and contributed to my problem.\n\nDon't wear your contacts more than 10 hours a day and always have one day a week where you don't wear them at all.

Your eyes are getting dry . Because while staring at the monitor and you are not blinking as often as necessary to keep your eye sockets moist . You must remember to blink often or get eye moisturizing drops. \n\nI had that problem , ( not on house arrest ) I did go to my Dr and that's what I was told . My Dr. suggested I take a supplement known as flax- seed oil (gel tablets) because flax-seed helps promotes natural tears . But I also discovered other benefits of this product . Since you are on the computer often ,I suggest  , you investigate this product and other things that would/could improve your quality of life. Good Luck and May GOD bless you

Maybe you could use tabasco for an eyewash.  If that does not work drink the whole bottle and maybe fire will at least come from the other end...

The only problem you may face is dry eye. optometrists may say that too much computer use will mess up your eyes but they just want you to buy glasses from them. Using artificial tears will help with dryness.

I've had relief from short sight (along with astigmatism) and tension in my eyes using ayurveda. Its effects were almost instant. Just a few hours. \nMaybe you wanna check it out.

I live in Arizona, and never had real problems with my contacts till I moved here.  Now I can't wear contacts at all, they irritate my eyes.  I went to the optometrist and asked what the heck is wrong with me and they said it was low tear production.  Well, to make a long story short, I don't wear contacts anymore but still have dry eye problems, especially in the morning.  In my opinion, there seems to be no really good solution because I feel like I've tried everything (from supplements to visine) and nothing "cures" the problem.  Sorry to sound so bleak...  Hope you find a good answer

you  need to get to your doctor and have them  run the tests for lupus and for sjoren's disease.  the heredity thing with lupus is rather complex.  it tends  to be more common in women then men.   the  reason for your dry eyes could be multifactorial.  did you consider diabetes or a problem with your lacrimal(tear ducts).  in any case i would schedule an appointment with you family doctor and also with an opthamologist.  to have those valuable eyes check out.   do that tommorrow.  good luck

If you saw your doctor soon after you were diagnosed, you might have gotten a little better with prednisone (steroids) and acyclovir (antivirals).  Eye lubrication drops to your eyes will make them feel better.  \n\nUnfortunately, the reality of the situation is that you may never get better.  Odds are that you will completely recover or get significantly better, but there is a possibility that you won't.

This exact thing happened to my son.  He has eye allergies, and that seems to make him more prone to infections.  He had healthy bacteria (that we all have) get up under his contacts and cause an infection.  I would see an opthomologist, as you will need a prescription for drops.  My son had to stop wearing his contacts for two weeks (one week to put in the drops, and one week to continue healing the eye).  This was after falling asleep in the contacts for 10 minutes in front of the TV on a few nights in a row (he had been real busy and tired that week, and I just let him do it, thinking how short a timeframe it was couldn't do any harm).  I would wake him, make him take out the contacts, and send him on to bed for the night (he normally takes his out daily).  However, it was just enough time for an infection to take hold.  Long story short, don't sleep in your contacts, even for a short period of time.  Don't swim in them, either, ever.  My son uses Elestat drops during change of seasons or any time his allergies act up, as well.  He also vigorously washes his eyelashes twice a day with a washcloth and baby shampoo.  It seems to help the buildup.  No-rub solutions are misleading, too.  You need to rub the contacts and rinse them daily to remove the protein.
