dry eyes?

Hi went to the optitions last month and was told i have dry eyes and was told to use eye drops, i dont use them daily as sometimes im in a rush :rolleyes: im just wondering does any one have dry eyes?

im constantly getting infections in my eyes (got one right now think other eye has got one coming), just wondering with out waisting dr's or optitions time if my dry eyes are the reason why im getting them?

do you wear contact lenses? they can give you dry eyes.
the infections could be related. keep using ze eye drops.
maybe something to do with there being no moisture to cleanse the eyes or something. i dont know im not an optician.

When I wear my contacts my eyes get dry sometimes. So I put some saline in them and they're better. Do you wear contacts?
