Hi Janmal
welcome to our forum
you can use dry eye treatments which are preservative free or are specifically labelled as OK for the type of contacts that you wear.

Hypromellose in single doses such as Artelac could be used (but they are expensive).

Some people take out their lenses for 15 minutes while they administer the ordinary type of preserved drops but this is not very practical.

If in doubt ask your contact lens care provider - or use a preservative free format like our Preservative Free Mini Droppers.

Hope this helps
Claire
