When considering eye drops safe for use with contact lenses, it's important to choose those specifically labeled as "contact lens compatible" or "re-wetting drops." These drops help to lubricate and moisten your eyes without damaging the lenses or causing irritation.

Key points to consider:

• Use re-wetting drops: These are designed to be used while wearing contacts to relieve dryness and discomfort.
• Avoid drops with preservatives: Some eye drops contain preservatives that can accumulate on lenses and cause irritation.
• Medicated drops like Nepfenac: For example, Nepfenac eye drops are typically prescribed after cataract surgery and are not recommended for use with contact lenses without removal, as they may affect lens color and cause side effects.
• Popular brands: In India, brands like Refresh Contacts, Blink Contacts, and Optive offer re-wetting drops suitable for contact lens users.
• Consult your eye care professional: Before starting any new eye drops, it's best to check with your optometrist or ophthalmologist to ensure compatibility with your specific lenses and eye condition.

Remember, never use medicated eye drops or those not intended for contact lens wear while your lenses are in, as this can cause harm or reduce lens effectiveness.

If you experience persistent discomfort or eye issues, please consult an ophthalmologist for personalized advice.
