During pregnancy, women may notice that their eyes are drier than usual. Dry eyes can make wearing contacts irritating and uncomfortable.
What to do: Use artificial tears to lubricate the eyes and ease dryness. If the expecting mother wear contacts, then be sure to check the label to make sure the lubricant can be used with contacts. Ordinary artificial tears have preservatives that can harm soft contact lenses. Also, check with the doctor first to make sure the active ingredients are safe for pregnant women.
