Eye Drops for Contact Lens Wearer?

Question

I wear contact lenses and my eyes usually get very dry because I workplace has air-conditioning and I work with a computer. My question is, can I use any re-wetting eye drops when using contact lens? I know there are contact lens eye drops, but if i cant find any, can i use the normal eye drops?

Answer 1

No you can't.

The drops have to say on the bottle that they are for use with contacts or they will ruin your lenses and really irritate your eyes.

Look harder for them , all pharmacies carry rewetting drops / artificial tears , in the same dept. that has the contact lens solutions.

Answer 2

Yes, refresh plus eye drop. they are the best

Answer 3

I use regular saline drops with my contacts but usually only have to once a day.  Some brands are better at not being drying.  I am using Focus Monthly types.  The best answer is to check the manufacturer's sheet to see if it requires any particular type of drop.  Having dry eyes from any cause isn't healthy and should be rectified correctly.

Answer 4

i wear contacts and use Opti Free Express Rewetting drops whenever my eyes feel dry...1-2 drops and my eyes are good to go.
