Question

Can u use eye drops when ur wearing contact lences?

Answer 1

If you are asking for comfort then yes you can use some eye drops.

Just make sure that you read the label, it will say whether or not you can use them whilst wearing contacts.I know you cant use drops to make your eyes sparkle whilst wearing lenses.

Just make sure you read the label. & if there is no mention of using them with contact lenses, then dont use them.

Answer 2

Yes you can if

1) The eye drops do not have preservatives. Contact lens soaks in preservatives and allow their concentration to build up. Some of these preservatives can be toxic if their concentration is high i.e. Benzylkonium choride (BAK)

2) they are "rewetting drops" for dry eye

3) you are wearing daily disposables contacts. The toxic level for preservative does not accummulate as the lenses are throw away daily

Hope this helps

Answer 3

It will tell you on the label. If you have to take out your contacts, it says, Please Remove Contact Lenses Before Use. It will tell you this on all eye drops except the ones you use to moisturize your contacts.

Answer 4

Some eye drops, yes. If you are wearing the contacts, try Refresh brand contact eye drops.

You can put in any eye drop you like about 15 minutes before putting on your contacts, if you prefer a more lasting solution. However, you cannot use any oily ointments, like lacri-lube or refresh pm, even if you wait 15 minutes.

Answer 5

I guess not. Eye contacts would block most of the eye drops effects.
