A member asked:
Is it safe to use eye drops while wearing contacts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost always: Unless you are being treated for active corneal disease, in which case you should not be wearing your contacts, most eye drops for treatment such as glaucoma and eyedryness will not interfere with contact wear and there shouldn't be a problem if you are following the rules of wearing the contacts.
