Can GP rewetting drops go in the eye?

Can GP rewetting drops go in the eye?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with daily wear
• D. Only after cleaning

Answer: (A)

Gas-permeable (GP) rewetting drops are made to lubricate the tear film and reduce friction on the lens surface, helping relieve dryness and discomfort for GP wearers. They can be instilled into the eye with the lens in place, using a preservative-free product labeled safe for contact lenses, so you can blink and spread the lubrication without removing the lens. Remember, these drops are for lubrication, not cleaning or disinfection, and you should follow your clinician’s guidance. If symptoms persist, remove the lens and seek advice.
