Finding the right contact lenses for sensitive eyes is essential to ensure both comfort and eye health. If your eyes are prone to dryness, irritation, or allergies, choosing lenses that offer excellent moisture retention and breathability can help alleviate these symptoms. Contact Me offers a wide range of products from trusted brands like Maati, Bausch & Lomb Ultra, and Acuvue, each designed with sensitive eyes in mind.
1. Opt for High Oxygen Permeability Lenses
Sensitive eyes require lenses that allow plenty of oxygen to pass through to keep the eyes comfortable and healthy. Silicone hydrogel lenses are ideal as they provide high levels of oxygen permeability, helping to prevent dryness and irritation.
For those looking for daily disposables, Maati Daily Lenses are an excellent choice. These lenses allow high oxygen flow while ensuring you wear a fresh, clean lens every day—perfect for sensitive eyes prone to irritation.

For a monthly option, Acuvue Vita lenses are specifically designed for people with sensitive or dry eyes. These lenses utilise HydraMax Technology, which maintains a consistent moisture level throughout the day, making them perfect for extended wear. Alternatively, Acuvue Oasys with HydraClear Plus is a great fortnightly lens option.

2. Consider Daily Disposable Lenses for Maximum Hygiene
Daily disposable lenses are a great option for sensitive eyes because they minimise the risk of irritants like protein build-up or bacteria. By using a fresh pair of lenses every day, you can avoid complications that come with lens cleaning or improper storage.
Maati Daily Lenses are ideal for daily use, offering affordability, comfort, and protection against the irritants that can affect sensitive eyes. Similarly, Dailies Total 1 lenses feature a water gradient technology, which ensures a cushion of moisture on the lens surface, providing long-lasting comfort for sensitive eyes.

3. Moisture-Rich Lenses for Dry and Sensitive Eyes
Moisture retention is key when choosing lenses for sensitive eyes. Look for lenses that come with built-in moisture technology to keep your eyes hydrated throughout the day. Bausch & Lomb Ultra Monthly Lenses are designed with MoistureSeal Technology, which locks in moisture, preventing the lenses from drying out over long periods of wear.
Another excellent option for hydration is Acuvue Oasys 1-Day lenses, which feature Lacreon Technology that embeds a wetting agent into the lens to maintain moisture, ensuring all-day comfort for those with sensitive or dry eyes.

4. Look for Lenses Designed for Digital Screen Use
For people who spend long hours in front of digital screens, eye strain can worsen sensitivity and dryness. Lenses like Acuvue Oasys and Bausch & Lomb Ultra are specifically designed to combat digital eye strain by maintaining hydration and providing optimal oxygen flow.
Bausch & Lomb Ultra lenses are equipped with MoistureSeal Technology, which helps the eyes retain 95% of lens moisture for up to 16 hours, making them an excellent choice for sensitive eyes and extended screen use.

They can help guide you towards lenses that offer the right combination of breathability, moisture, and comfort.
