Then i switched to Acuvue Oyasis. Have no idea if they still make those as i got lasik, but they were amazing for keeping hydrated.
I tried contacts for about 6 months. Hated them, my eyes were always dried out. Enough so that even the Oasys would pop out on their own.
I work around routers and switches with big fans really often, though, so I figured that's why. I switched back to glasses. I want to get Lasik soon, though.

Systane is the best

I never could get used to contacts. I was told I had dry eye syndrome. Nothing worked to keep them wet.

Tigerbru17, I also worked in hospitals. The contacts would curl up on my eyeballs.

You're getting old and drying up.
Time to switch to glasses.

Also brands differ. Either try dailys or a different monthly brand.

Man I'll spend whatever it costs to help this. I work in the hospital so the air is always pumping. I'm dry within an hour of arriving.
I imagine every space is brightly lit too. Fluorescent lights everywhere. I work in a similar environment and it takes its toll. I wear my glasses on days off and when sitting around the house. That helps.

There are also Acuvue Oasys lenses that you change every two weeks, if your looking for something that you change more often than monthly but not as often as daily.
Also, contact solution brand is important, as far as which clean the lenses the best and hydrate the lenses the best. I recommend BioTrue multipurpose solution by Bausch & Lomb. Stay away from generic or store brands, they are cheaper but aren't the best for your lenses.

. Which rewetting product is the best on the market?
Also, pay attention to the expiration date on your rewetting drops. The ones I buy typically only last for 2 or 3 months (according to the bottle)
