Rather a 'better quality' of tear is required with higher 'wetting ability' (i.e. greater amount of glycoproteins) and so artificial tears (e.g. viscotears) are applied frequently.

Contact lens-induced hypoxia triggers the cornea to undergo anaerobic respiration, resulting in a buildup of lactic acid that osmotically draws water into corneal cells, causing edema. [7]
A Pacific University research study of 36 participants found significant differences in irritation or burning of the eyes, tearing, or watery eyes, dry eyes, and tired eyes, that were each improved by amber colored lenses versus placebo lenses, [11] but in a follow-up study in 2008, the same team was not able to reproduce the results of the ...
