birth control and contact lenses
is there a birth control out there that won't cause "intolerance to contact lenses"?

Hi Kay,
I agree with Jodie. Don't switch pills, have your eye care provider switch contact lens and or eye drops/supplements.

I'm assuming that you are referring to a birth control pill that doesn't cause dry eyes, making contact lens wear difficult. Your doctor (or possibly your partner's doctor) can suggest an alternative pill to try. In addition, your eye care provider can suggest a different brand/model of contact lens to try. If none of this works, then the only option left is to use a different method of birth control.
Currious - I've never heard of this - and also curious what kind of birth control a male is using? Is this for real?
