Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Rewetting drops: The only drops you should use with contact lenses in your eyes are contact lens rewetting drops. These are found in the store near the artificial tears and are labelled "for use with contact lenses." do not use allergy or other drops with your contact lenses.
