Answer 1

Pataday is an allergy drop...you use it only once a day. It doesn't matter what time of day you put them in from what I understand, but make sure to have your contacts out when you are putting them in.

If you would like to use some sort of eyedrop with your contacts on to help the dryness, you can purchase a rewetting drop specific for contacts at a drugstore. That should help w/the dryness...and you can use it as much as you want.

If you keep having issues, or even now, it's a good idea to check in w/your doctor. They will have additional suggestions for you, and make sure you don't have an eye infection.

Good luck!

Mandie is right.  Just make sure the drops are not expired.  Also, I would caution against using them too frequently due to the chance of corneal erosion.  Drops like Pataday and Patanol are to be used short term.  I hope your peepers feel better soon!
