I haven't mentioned in it in the past, but I'm an art student in my Senior Year... A primarily digital artist this year, too. All day in front of the computer screen, whether for academic or art-based classes, then when I get home I stare at the screen for gaming! It doesn't help that I like to wear contacts (though lately I've barely done so since I couldn't wear them if I've been working at the computer), but in the end I have ended up with really terribly dry eyes. I have tried some liquid drops for contacts and without, but they haven't worked too well, and I could barely get it into my eyes - somewhere I saw it mentioned to get a gel, and GenTeal gel drops were suggested...
It was kinda expensive at 8-9 dollars for... .12 fl oz, but it is wonderful so far! For one... I can actually get it into my eye without blinking it out. Something about being able to just set the drop in makes things loads easier for me in the end, and it melts into a liquid-like state to spread over. I'll keep using it for a few days, and try wearing contacts at some point.
If all goes well, I'll try out the night time version too, where you put it in before bed. For now, though...Gotta head over to the studio to scan in my stuff, and make some lineart so I can actually make color drops/alts. =_= Ugh. There's a whole slew of other work to do, but I've been trying really hard to hold back on being hard on myself as a student. My whole goal is that once I can handle this load as is, the sooner I can get a job to make some cash on the side.
...Haha, yes. I am 21 years old, and haven't had a job. That's what I get for being a head-in-the-books cat for most of my life, then suddenly transplanted from the south to the north, merely on a school basis. Geeze, anyway, gonna run off! I'll add some pictures later!
