1. If it's cold it's warm...wear some form of eye protection, your eyes will dry out if you don't, atleast my experience.
2. My eyes dry out all the time, it's not the most comfortable thing but is bearable.
3. Watering=good at times, your eyes don't dry out and you can comfortably run your eyes with contacts in them, just don't push too far to either side
4. I have it too, and wear toric lenses...love em...wouldn't trade em for the world.
