A member asked:
If i need to use 2 classes of eye drops for glaucoma, how likely is it that i will be able to wear contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: As long as you can put the contacts in after you put the drops in or put the drops in after you take your contacts out there's no problem.
