What is the best contacts solution for dry eyes?

Sometimes my eyes get a bit dry with my contacts in. Is it okay to use my contacts solution as eye drops?

  • Answer:

    You can do providing that it is just saline. however, you should use proper eye rehydration drops in the first instance. More importantly, you need to find out why your eyes dry out. it could be you wear lenses for too long or that they are the wrong type of lenses for your eyes. Be safe and make use of your contact lense after care and see the optician. When it comes to your eyes you really dont want to take a chance.

Well i'm not an eye doctor or anything but I wouldn't recommend it. Several of my friends wear contacts and from talking to them about their contacts I am under the impression that the purpose of contact lense solution is to keep the lenses from drying out while in the case and, also to *Disinfect* them. Now, this may or may not be correct, but, assuming it is. Do you *really* want to DISINFECT your eyes?

No. Spend the money on artificial tears, never visine.

not your contacts solution ----it is an alcohol unsuitable for such use -- --but your antibiotic eye drops and tears drops may be of use and also consult your eye doctor for why such dry ness

You may want to change contacts next time you get them. My daughter had the same problem. She changed brands and is doing fine with the new ones

I have, and nothing bad has happened. It's not different from the composition of the eye drops. Just remember not to let the tip of the bottle touch your eye or your hands because that can contaminate the solution and cause problems for your eyes.

i think you are wearing lenses for too long. lenses obstruct the contact of oxygen to eyes thus you should not wear them for longer than 6-8 hrs at a stretch. use some good eye drops to rehydrate your eyes everyday.
