If persistent dry eyes are keeping you from wearing contact lenses, Proclear Compatibles may give you the comfortable solution. The lenses are designed to stay wetter than regular contacts and cause less eye irritation. Proclear Compatibles from CooperVision are comfortable because they're made to feel as natural to your eye as possible.

There are a number of causes for dry eyes and it's important to consult with a doctor to find out the particular reason. It may be due to your environment, medication you're taking or simply because you're getting older. But it can also be a undiagnosed health problem, so before trying Proclear Compatibles, it's in your best interest to find out.

A doctor can also tell you about the quality and quantity of your tears. Usually dry eyes are a symptom of either not enough tears or poor quality tears. A tear is composed of three layers. The layer exposed to the air is made of oils which slow the tear's evaporation. The middle layer is mostly water and the layer next to your eye has a substance called mucin, which helps the tear spread evenly. Proclear Compatibles can't change your body chemistry, but they can help tears last longer.

The reason for Proclear Compatibles success with dry eyes is due to its biocompatible composition. The lens contains phosphorylcholine which is also in a human cell membrane. This has several benefits. Since the surface of the lens is similar to a cell's membrane, the lens is treated more like a part of the body instead of a foreign object. Which means less eye irritation and less reason for an over-stimulation of tears.

Another benefit to the biocompatible nature of Proclear Compatibles is that it naturally attracts water. So if you're not producing enough tears, the lens can make them last longer. Or likewise if the tear quality is poor and they're evaporating too quickly, the lens can slow the loss.
