Dry Eyes but Only with Contacts
My ophthalmologist said the only long term dry eyes risk is if you've had dry eyes before LASIK it can exacerbate the symptoms. However, I get dry eyes but ONLY if I'm wearing my contacts. If I'm on the computer all day, my eyes are unbearably dry usually around hour 4-5 of wearing the contacts. Does that constitute having dry eyes in regards to LASIK? When I'm not wearing contacts, my eyes are fine.
Basically, I'm concerned about dry eyes post LASIK but I'm not sure I should be because I only have dry eyes with contacts. I'm curious when people mentioning that their dry eyes got worse after LASIK if they're referring to dry eyes with or without contacts pre-LASIK.
