Wearing contacts if you have dry eyes is a problem, but many people have found that Proclear contact lenses are a comfortable solution. There are various reasons for dry eyes, so there's no one solution that's right for everyone. However, Proclear contact lenses are made of a special material that's designed to help retain more of your eye's moisture than other contacts.

Dry eyes aren't only an irritation, they're a breakdown in how the eye is supposed to function. Your tears have a number of functions from fighting bacteria that cause eye infections to keeping the cornea clean and supplied with oxygen. Proclear contact lenses are designed to help keep that necessary flow of tears maintained.

Tears are actually a three layer fluid with water as the center layer. The top layer, exposed to the air, is made up of oils which slow the water from evaporating. The bottom layer, next to your eye, is a substance which helps tears spread evenly by keeping them from beading up. The material used in Proclear contact lenses was selected because it wouldn't disturb this delicate balance.

When you put contact lenses in your eyes, like any foreign thing, they provoke a reaction from your body. Proclear contact lenses include a special biocompatible substance, phosphorylcholine to lessen this natural reaction. Phosphorylcholine imitates the cells in your eyes, so there's less risk that either the composition or the amount of tears your eye produces, will change.

Dry eyes can be caused by a number of things, including medications and disease. So before you try Proclear contact lenses or any other contacts, it's important you know the reason for your dry eyes. Your doctor can perform a number tests to determine the exact cause.
