I always had this bad habit: I let myself wear my two-week lenses for about an extra week, so I never really tracked when I started or when I should take them out.

Now my eyes get dry, so I started paying more attention — writing the start date and the change date in my phone notes. But sometimes I forgot to write it down, and then I had no idea when to swap them.

So I just vibe-coded a little app with a widget for myself — my wife is a designer, so she helped make it look nice (the apps in the App Store didn't really do it for me design-wise). Since I already built it, I'd love to hear what you'd want to see in an app like this. I'll do my best to add it and share it with you — and the core features will always stay free.

Hey, looking for some advice. I've been wearing 2-week lenses for years and lately something changed — my eyes start feeling dry almost immediately after I open a new pack. Before, I'd only feel it toward the end of the cycle, which made sense. Now it's day 2-3 and they're already uncomfortable.

A couple of things I've been doing differently that seem to help:

– I recently learned you're not supposed to clean the lens case with soap and tap water (apparently this was obvious to everyone except me). Now I just air-dry it and rinse with solution before putting the lenses back.

– Actually wearing them for the right amount of time. I used to lose track and push them way past 2 weeks, which probably wasn't helping.

Is the dryness thing common? Could it be the brand changed something? Switched to a different solution? Genuinely curious what others are doing.
