[quote=Anonymous]Are rosacea and dry eyes connected?  I saw one PP mentioned that.  I have rosacea and so do others in my family and I find I too, at age 42, cannot really wear contacts anymore.  I thought it was b/c my eyes, which used to be super-vascular (after about 25-30 years of wearing contacts) but then went back to being white and less vascular after deciding to wear glasses for an adoption trip to China b/c I did not want to have to deal with dry eyes on the plane trip, or any other sort of nonsense, when I had other things to worry about.  Then, once we got my DD home, it just became easier to put the glasses on in the mornings when we were rushed, and it seems like my eyes sort of "healed" themselves and were no longer always red.  They looked like normal people's eyes once again. :)  But now, if I try to wear contacts again (as I did for my sister's wedding), I find them quite uncomfortable.

Long story short:  after reading this thread, I am realizing maybe it is less the fact that my eyes got less vascular, but merely that I am getting older?  Which can bring with it dryer eyes?  Esp. if you have rosacea too?[/quote]
