What the AI looks for in Contact Lens Rewetting Drops
- Labeled for contacts
- Use only drops explicitly labeled for use with contact lenses in the eye. Many artificial tears and medicated drops are not cleared for use with lenses in.
- No vasoconstrictors
- Avoid redness-relief ingredients such as tetrahydrozoline or naphazoline. They mask symptoms and are not meant for use with lenses.
- Preservative load
- Frequent users should prefer preservative-free or low-preservative formulas. Preservatives can build up in lenses and irritate the eye.
Brands that matter
- Bausch + Lomb: Blink Contacts and Biotrue rewetting drops.
- Refresh: Refresh Contacts comfort drops.
- Alcon: Opti-Free rewetting drops.
What to avoid
- Redness-relief drops while wearing lenses
- Thick gel or ointment tears with lenses in
Questions
Can I use regular artificial tears with contacts in?
Only if the label says they are compatible with contact lenses. Otherwise, use drops made for contacts.
