Please explain if it is safe to use eye drops for contact solution?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact lens: Although some drops might be safe, stick with the contact lens solution. Some drops are reasonable to place on top of contact lenses, others are not. Most would not work under the lens as the contact lens solution.
