Rewetting eye drops are eye drops specifically made to keep your eyes moist while wearing contact lenses. Rewetting drops lubricate your eye while hydrating your contact lenses, making your eyes more comfortable during lens wear. These eye drops are completely safe to use with contact lenses, and are useful for improving comfort and clearing out debris from underneath your contact lenses. Depending on the type of eye drops you’re using, you may or may not be able to place them in your eyes while wearing your contacts.
Yes, if they are designed for use with them, are preservative free and have no active medicated ingredients e.g glaucoma drops. Ask your pharmacist, optometrist or doctor for a recommendation. There are refreshing drops or artificial tears that can be used with contacts. Eyedrops that can be used with contacts say so right on the bottle.
