Help dryness?

2018-07-03 10:19:18
I am a contact user and lately my one of my eyes have become dry, I don't understand this because my eye was pretty fine 5 days prior to this event. I'm really scared I might have dry eye on my right eye forever but it seems my eye is inflamed and I would need artificial tears. It is also very difficult to fall asleep which is the part I dislike the most because I get no sleep I have to force a natural thing. I hope I have an acute version of this condition and not a chronic. Please help

Yes it might be dryness. Please put lubricant eye drops e.g. teardrop 2to3 times and do cold compresses with ice. If you are a regular computer user if so it might be computer vision syndrome.
