Can I Use Eye Drops With My Contacts?

2. Designed to deliver the relief you need
3. Nontoxic to your eye tissue

Help! My Eyes Are So Uncomfortable. What Can I Do?
In a pinch, you can use the rewetting or contact lens storage solution your eyecare professional recommended to flush away irritants until you’re able to consult with your trusted eyecare professional. If you feel you need immediate relief, you must be sure the packaging of any eye drops you are considering specifically states that the solution is designed to be used with your contact lenses. Then, contact your eyecare provider as soon as possible to discuss your situation. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should seek emergency medical care immediately.
