A member asked:

What does it mean when the patient monograph for ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) lo says it may make it difficult to wear contact lenses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tear flow: In susceptible individuals, ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) lo can alter the tear flow, usually lowering it, which can make contact lens wear more difficult. This is not common and tears can be supplemented so this is not a major issue.
