Irritation In The Eye Due To Protein Build Up. Using Contact Lens. Any Suggestions?
My eyes are bothered by contacts. I ve heard it may be because they re dry (an eye doctor told me that, even though he did a dye test and said they weren t that dry) or an irritation from protein build up. I have white/clear stringy eye goobers, is that mucous that should stay in my eye to moisturize it, or protein build up that should be removed to avoid irritation? Thanks!

Hello,
The white stringy discharge is likely to be due to an allergic reaction/allergic conjunctivitis. Apart from using lubricating eye drops you can try using anti-allergy eye drops too. You can consult your eye doctor for the above eye drops.
