How do you test for dry eye?

First, your [eye_doctor] will ask you questions about your symptoms and whether you have any medical conditions (such as an autoimmune disease) or are taking any medications (such as allergy medication) that could be causing or worsening your symptoms. For the most common dry eye test, called the Schirmer's test, your [eye_doctor] will place a tiny piece of paper over your lower eyelid to check the amount of moisture your tear glands are producing.

Can I wear contact lenses with dry eyes?

Wearing standard contact lenses when you have dry eyes can be challenging and highly uncomfortable. Ask your [eye_doctor] about the best contact lenses to wear if you have dry eye syndrome. The best thing you can do is to treat the underlying cause of your dry eyes, as it may make it possible for you to comfortably wear standard contacts again!
