I am using Acuvue Daily’s and would like to know if I can use the Systane Ultra eye drops on them during the day. I currently use the Bausch and Lomb Renu Multiplus drops during the day but I heard the Systane Ultra drops where much better but wasn’t sure if you can use them on top of the soft contacts.

ANSWER

Asa,
Systane Ultra eye drops are not approved for use with contact lenses.  You could put
Systane Ultra in your eye in the morning and then wait twenty minutes before putting your contact lenses in and then put it in again when you take your contact lenses out at the end of the day. You may want to try Blink eye drops for contact lenses.  These are approved to use with contact lenses and work quite well.
