Protein Build-Up on Contacts

X-no-archive: yes

Whenever I wear contacts for more than 6 hours, the lens get coated
with thick layers of protein deposits. If I take the lens out to my
palm, and rub them on a pool of saline solution, I start seeing lots
and lots of floating patches on the saline solution. I assume these
are protein deposits.

What sort of contact lens should I wear to minimize these protein
accumulation?

It's probably not protein - could it be eye make up? Or do you work in a
dusty environment? Did you wash your hands before you rubbed the lenses?

Without knowing what the source of your problem is, the answer is
probably going to be 'daily disposable contact lenses'.
