Why Do Colored Contacts Feel Dry? Causes and Quick Fixes

Quick answer

Dryness in colored contacts usually comes from lens material, your environment, or how you wear them. The fix depends on the cause, so we'll walk through each symptom and solution.

Diagnosis and quick fixes

• Symptom: Lenses feel dry within the first hour of wear.
• Likely cause: Lens material or coating may not match your tear film. Some colored lenses have lower water content or thicker pigment layers.
• Corrective action: Switch to a lens with breathable structure or aloe-infused material, like FreshTone® diva aloe vera colored contacts, which are designed to prevent dryness. Also ensure you are using fresh, recommended solution daily. If dryness persists after 2 hours, remove lenses and consult your eye care professional.
• Stop or choose another option: If your eyes feel dry, irritated, or painful at any point, remove the lenses immediately. Do not re-wet them repeatedly; some dryness signals an incompatible lens or an eye health issue. Try a different lens brand or material.
