I thought the problem was the A/C making the air so dry, plus its recirculated so that makes it dry as well. Most of the staff I work with has a hard time with contacts at work so I truely do think the air is much drier.I agree...it's more than likely the dry air. I couldn't wear my contacts much at all in the hospital setting and ended up having Lasik.

I just wear my glasses on clinical days. I have my hair up, no makeup, and those awful school scrubs so my glasses can only improve my look lol.
