Allergies and contacts- Medication? Eye drops?

Question

I'm going to get contacts, but I have allergies. I've heard it won't work for people with allergies, but how about with daily allergy medication? Or couldn't you just take the contacts out and put eye drops in, and then put the contacts back in your eyes once they aren't irritated anymore?

Answer 1

if your getting contacts your eye doctor will make you go through tests and examinations. if you are finished with them the test for getting them is putting them in and taking them out. now here comes the fun part. allergies don't always affect people that wear contacts. some people carry around small bottles of contact solution or something like visiene. contacts are easy to tell if they are dry but you can put eye drops in while you are wearing them; they are only a small sheet of wax covering your pupils and iris and can be easily accessed by an eye drop. allergy's dont always regect contacts. some people just say that because there to lazy to get them. but your best bet is to just get them and see how the first week or two goes. if your allergies dont effect them you are probably fine, and if your eyes reject them just tell your eye doctor and maybe he might have a solution for it. good luck with them :]

Answer 4

I'm having the exact same issue but I've actually been wearing contacts for 8 years. I've been having soooo much trouble after 4-5 days of wearing a new pair of contacts and I've been to my doctor multiple times now. I literally just got off the phone with them and the reason I can't see well after 4-5 days is because of the potein buildup on my contacts -- which makes sense since I've noticed more discharge and I can see it. They are testing to see if daily contacts will be much better and for me to try using Clear Care solution cleaner (READ the directions thoroughly before usage!!) which takes potein off my monthly contacts. Here's an awesome website I found with more info that just helped me. Good luck!
