I have extended-wear contact lenses, and when I take them out, my eyes have a "thick" feeling to them. This lasts for the duration I have the contacts out (up to 2 weeks) and is discomforting. It's hard to describe the feeling--I guess it can be described as a dry feeling also. Does anyone else have this feeling? Also, I've noticed a desensitization of my eyes to particles in them when my contacts are out--probably just due to being used to having things in my eyes. Can anyone confirm that this "thick, dry" feeling in my eyes is normal? Micci Dennee Bell Communications Research Red Bank, NJ 07701

I've always just written it off to the fact that my eyes have gotten used to having a high water content protective layer over them (the contacts) and when they are removed, presto ... dryness.
