Ok... that made me laugh!
But back to the subject at hand.... I have had contacts since I was 12 (9 years now) and there are good and bad things about contacts. I do have one question though, were the Ben Stein drops for contacts or for dryness? Because there is a big difference in what you can do with bare eyes as opposed to eyes with contacts. If they did not say "for contacts" in big letters on the bottle than they were probably the wrong ones which would explain the dryness problems. I always have to read the lable really carefully to make sure it gives me directions on what to do if you wear contacts. Usually it says to wait 10-30 minutes before putting in contacts after applying the drops.
I have noticed that when I work at a computer my contacts dry out really bad and give me headaches from trying to focus through the dry fog. I have had to go to glasses (which I never wore all the time, only a day at a time to let my eyes rest from the contacts) because I work at a computer all day long and the headaches were becoming an issue.
When I was 12 and I got my eyes checked (for the first time) I got contacts right away and didn't ever get glasses until a few years later, so contacts were what I knew from the beginning. Anymore, though, I want to get rid of both cumbersome instruments but I can't afford surgery at this time. Phooey.
Good luck finding out what is causing all of the discomfort!! :p
