dry tired sore eyes, are these due to contact lenses?

My 21 yr old daughter has a problem that is causing us all to be desperate. Her eyes become sore, very dry, and tired. She has been to so many doctors and the last one has tried about everything, but the condition keeps flaring up every once in a while, sometimes she can go months without anything, then it happens again. Now the doctor says he believes it is her soft lenses (daily) that caused the problem, and believes by operating with that lasar operation that she will somewhat alleviate the problem. He says she will always have the problem, but to a lesser agree by not wearing the lenses. In spite of what is all said and done, I prefer she not operate, at least for now, the procedure is fairly young. I am taking her to an acunpuncturist tomorrow, but does anyone have any insight into anything alternative that could help? She complains constantly, it is very disruptive to her social and academic life, and most importantly, she is worried her eyes may be damaged by the irritation caused. Tweet
