Rewetting drops will remedy it for a little while, but I find myself having to add them every ten minutes or so. Some days seem better than others, but it seems to mostly occur after five to nine hours or wear. Some evenings are miserable and, specifically, sitting in front of a computer monitor where one tends to stare is torture.

If rewetting drops are solving the problem, it sounds to me like your contacts are drying out. I agree that it's worth discussing this with your doctor. There are different "formulations" of contact lenses. Some contain more water than others. Depending on how dry your eyes are naturally, some may dry out more quickly in your eye than others. The contacts that have more water in them have more water to lose, and can really dry out if your eyes don't produce enough tears. But they are more comfortable. Contacts with less water in them will hold their shape more as they get dry, but they are a little less comfortable. A friend of mine has glass contact lenses (yes, they still make them) and her lenses never dry out. Personally, I can't imagine having hard glass touching my eye, but they work for her.
Another possibility is that you aren't cleaning them well enough when you take them out at night. Like Wolf said. Are you taking them out at night? What is your schedule?
Anyway, my point is that a good opthamologist or optometrist will really fit lenses to your eyes so that they are comfortable. If they aren't working for you, you should mention it.
