    you can use clear care on disposable lenses. I use it with my air optix aqua lenses. It seems to get them cleaner so that they actually are wearable for the full month they're rated for.

    Dry eyes - try systane. My rheumatologist recommended it to me for OTC dry eye treatment.

    What about trying something like "re-wetting drops"? I use a re-wetting solution on my daily disposables all the time...especially at work where my office has extremely dry air. Right now, I'm using the Target house brand (Up & Up) but I've used just about every other brand of rewetting drops on the market and they all seem pretty similar.

    Then there's just dousing your eyes with plain saline, if you can tolerate the preservatives.

    They used to have single-use vials of unpreserved saline. I hate the waste, but for occasional use, they were great - but I haven't been able to find them recently.

    I've tried putting a few drops of saline in my eyes, but that only helps a little. That's why I'm thinking something made for dry eyes might be better.

    Bausch and Lomb SootheXP emollient drops. They're thick, and make things a little blurry initially, but my vision clears up within a few minutes. Once I can see clearly again, I can put in my contacts. I use the drops when my eyes feel dry and tight, but not itchy, and they work great.

    I hope you find a good solution, NY. All this makes me really happy that I wear glasses!
