Quick Rewetting Drops are defined as specialized ophthalmic solutions designed specifically for use while contact lenses are on the eye to provide immediate lubrication and debris clearance. They differ from standard artificial tears by:
Standard eye drops often contain preservatives or thickeners that can "bind" to a contact lens: making it cloudy or causing it to stick to the cornea. Quick rewetting drops are formulated to be "lens-compatible;" meaning they move through the lens matrix without changing its shape or transparency; providing relief without the need to remove the lens.
They are ideal for "environmental" dryness: such as:
Yes. Often: vision becomes blurry during contact lens wear because the surface of the lens has "dried out" or collected tiny amounts of protein and lipids. A quick rewetting drop re-hydrates the lens surface and restores a smooth: optical interface; which instantly sharpens the focus and removes the "haze" from your vision.
While most are designed for soft lenses: they are also beneficial for:
Most rewetting drops are safe for frequent use. However: if you find yourself needing them every 30 minutes; you may have an underlying dry eye condition or a poorly fitting lens. In these cases; it is better to consult your eye doctor rather than relying solely on the drops for comfort.
Yes. Once opened; most rewetting drop bottles should be discarded after 30 to 90 days. Because they are designed to be used with lenses; any bacterial contamination in the bottle could be "trapped" against your eye by the contact lens; leading to a serious corneal infection.
No. Rewetting drops are for comfort and hydration while the lens is in your eye. They do not have the disinfecting power required to kill bacteria or remove deep-seated deposits overnight. You must still use a proper multi-purpose or hydrogen peroxide solution for nightly storage.
