    And I do have pretty protective glasses - My Tifosis cover nearly the entire orbital socket.

    I think the answer may just be to save up for Lasik!
    Head's up, lasik does not help dry eye, it makes it worse - at least it did for me!

    me, too. Granted, I'm only 3 weeks out from my lasik surgery, but the dry eyes are worse than before- especially in the morning. I even had the bladeless lasik which is supposed to be better for dry eyes than the blade kind.


    Refresh Optive is really helping, tho. I use it on my rides, too when my eyes start getting dry.

    I am a long-time contact lens wearer and have had dry-eye issues for probably 5-6 years as well (I'm 31). On the advice of my eye doctor, I recently switched to daily lenses (Acuvue Trueye) and while they haven't *solved* the problem, they have definitely reduced my eye irritation from day to day. Also considerably more expensive, though.
