Can a person with dry eyes wear contact lenses?

Q: I have problem of dry eyes and I see light flashes in front of my eyes. I have got used to this problem. I have got myself checked and the doctor has said that everything is normal. Can I use contact lenses? My power is -0.25 (left eye) and -0.5 (right eye), cylindrical.

A:Contact lenses are not ideal for dry eyes and your power is minimal. You can do without glasses.
