What are the best contact lenses for dry eyes 2021?

Medically reviewed by Alastair Lockwood on 20 November 2020

contact lenses for dry eyes


One of the most common questions asked by contact lens wearers is; what are the best contact lenses for dry eyes? Whether you’re short-sighted or long-sighted, we stock a wide selection of the most comfortable contact lenses for dry eyes and astigmatism. These lenses will keep the surface of your eyes moist and help your eyes stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the day. 


Are daily contact lenses better for dry eyes?

Daily contact lenses are considered to be the best option for contact lens wearers who experience discomfort from dry eyes. This is because they can be disposed of by the end of the day.

Silicone hydrogel contact lenses are particularly popular for dry eye sufferers as they allow more oxygen into the eye. This increases the level of comfort.

Popular daily disposable contact lenses for dry eyes

Daily disposable contact lenses can be considered a more comfortable and healthier lens wearing option. This is because they are replaced more often, avoiding any build-up of protein deposits on your lenses. We’ve compiled a list of the best daily contact lenses for dry eyes and explain how they help.  Here’s our list of the best contact lens brands for dry eyes.

comfi Daily Disposable

What are the best multifocal contact lenses for dry eyes?

As we grow older, we begin to age and our eyes lose the ability to focus on close-up objects. Vision becomes blurry, and tasks such as reading become very difficult. This condition is called presbyopia, and can be corrected by multifocal contact lenses, also known as varifocal lenses.

Multifocal versions of popular contact lens brands can be found at Feel Good Contacts. They contain two or more prescriptions to aid your vision in transitioning between distances. If you need presbyopic correction and have particularly sensitive eyes, don’t worry, you’ll be able to find the ideal multifocal contacts for you.

Our Acuvue Oasys lenses are made from silicone hydrogel. This prevents the eyes from drying out, by allowing up to six times more oxygen to reach the eye.

Air Optix Night & Day Aqua lenses combine a silicone hydrogel design with TriComfort technology for a smooth and moist lens. They are depsoit-resistant, enabling them to lock in moisture,keeping eyes hydrated whilst preventing the build up of protein and debris throughout the day. This will prevent discomfort and damage to the cornea. They are suitable for 30 days and 30 nights of continuous wear as long as prescribed by your optician.

What is dry eye?

There is a good reason as to why many people want to know what the best contacts for dry eyes are. Dry eyes can be an uncomfortable and even painful condition to deal with on a daily basis. They can be caused by a variety of factors in everyday living.

Long hours at the office staring at a computer without blinking can have adverse effects on your eyes by reducing the rate at which they hydrate themselves. Your eyes rely on the moisture that blinking provides to stay healthy. When your blinking rate is severely reduced, your eyes will begin to dry out (as will your contact lenses).

This can lead to eyes feeling itchy, irritated and sometimes inflamed and painful.

How can I get rid of dry eye?

Fortunately, dry eye syndrome is a short-term condition. Symptoms can include red eyes and discomfort . You should find that any uncomfortable symptoms will subside once you give your eyes a break from the computer screen and catch up on some sleep.

However, faster and more effective relief can be achieved with the use of treatment such as eye drops. At Feel Good Contacts, we stock a huge range of eye drops for dry eyes, as well as other dry eye treatments that include eye masks and sprays.

A preservative free cleaning solution such as our Biotrue Multi-Purpose solution is also recommended to keep your lenses clean and combat dryness. 

Dry eyes can lead to scarring on the surface of the eye if left untreated and can affect both the cornea and conjunctiva.


Is a higher water content better for dry eyes?

The higher the water content, the more chance the lens has of drawing moisture away from the eye. Therefore a higher water content is not necessarily better for dry eyes. However, lens technologies can make up for this. Most soft contacts range between 38% and 79% in water content. With this in mind, we recommend speaking with your optician to determine which lenses are best suited to your eyes.

We hope you can find the best contacts for dry eyes to suit your needs.
