Hey, all.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a note concerning irritation I found one
night after having used day/night contacts for the first time. All was
well until the 4th night - I woke up and felt like sand had been poured
in my eye.

Anyway - a few potential diagnoses were suggested, included CES.

On the sage advice of the group members, I stopped wearing the lenses
at night.

For a week, anyway. I decided to be brave and try again, but with the
addition of a single drop of Visine before bed and on waking up.

That is now my routine: one drop in the morning to kick-start the
lubrication, and one drop before bed. It's been 6 nights in a row, and
no problem.

So: I've heard that Visine isn't the best for this kind of application:
Should I be using a pure saline solution? Is it true that Visine can
work against me, by reducing the amount of tears my eyes produce
normally? I'd hope that one drop in the morning and one at night would
not be significant, but who knows...

Any wisdom would be appreciated!

Cheers,

DW.
