Rewetting drops — comfort and lubrication throughout the day
Contact lens compatible rewetting drops can help reduce dryness, friction and discomfort linked to screens, air conditioning, travel or sport. They are a useful addition to your contact lens care routine, but they do not replace proper disinfection when this is required.
They are especially useful for wearers looking for better day-to-day comfort, particularly in dry environments or during long wearing days. It remains important to check that the formula is clearly labelled as suitable for contact lens wear.
Good practices
- Choose formulas clearly marked as compatible with contact lenses.
- Use 1 to 2 drops as needed and according to the leaflet, with clean hands.
- Avoid touching the eye or the lens with the bottle tip.
- For sensitive eyes, single-use vials are often worth considering.
If discomfort continues despite good hygiene, it may be worth considering daily contact lenses or asking a specialist for advice: artoptic.ch.
