    Does Optase have a contacts-friendly version? I have absolutely terrible dry eyes and they’re worse with contacts in. (Hi @maipu I also have the same eye issues as you).

      Optase has a couple different drops that say contacts-compatable on their boxes. Including the “dry eye intense drops” that I use.

      You should talk to your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if your oil glands are clogged for too long, they’ll stop producing oil permanently.

      Hello fellow disabled jaja , in my country it is very difficult for imported ones to enter but if that is not your case, there are some called “Optase dry eye intense drops” I used them when I used “fantasy contact lenses” for some cosplay where I was with contact lenses for a long time, perhaps the important thing is not the company but trying which one best suits our pretty eyes

        I landed some Optase drops and ointment. Tried the ointment last night and it did indeed prevent me from waking up to a crusty mess on my eyes. It’s encouraging. I am going to try to roll with my contacts today while carrying the drops and see how it works out.

          I’m so glad they helped you :) That’s a great sign that your eyes are responding well to the treatment Now, when you try in your contacts today, I recommend, in my humble opinion, that you put in the lubricating drops before you put in your contacts and make sure the drops are fully absorbed before you put in your contacts, then simply repeat the drops 2 or 3 times a day to keep your eyes well hydrated and prevent them from drying out

          And now, when they see you without that morning crust, you can proudly say, “ Yes, I’m using Optase… my eyes are cleaner than my search history! ” jaja I hope you find these little tips helpful, take care of those little eyes! Pd: this week I changed the frame of my glasses, I like them but they are made of metal and I feel a little fragile, we will expand …

              yes, there will be publication with metallic glasses (L). I would also like to assess if the metal frame is more durable or is it just a gold colored painted wire , I suspect the latter Like you I have been trying them on and have dropped them once and they have not broken.

              me: 1 - gravity: 0

              how many hours have you been wearing contact lenses?
