Depending on how long you had them in, did this happen with the first wearing (3 to 4 hours) and continue up to your max time? It may be that your tear film is not enough to support keeping both your eyes and your contacts moist during the day.
If the drops are not helping more than a few mins, that is likely the case. And you will need to wear them less time, or keep trying different brands, until you and your eye doctor, find one that you can wear up to say 8 hours a day. You may find that even after trying several contact brands, that you can't wear them for very long, and might have to settle for the time limit. Or you can ask your eye doctor or regular doctor, about options to combat dry eyes, like drops to help you produce more of your own tears, or plugging the drains in your eyes (temp or perm), to help the tears stay in your eyes longer.
