Yes, it is safe to use Azopt eye drops while wearing contact lenses. However, you should remove your contact lenses before applying Azopt drops to your eyes. Soft contact lenses can absorb some of the ingredients in Azopt, so it’s important to take them out before using the medication. If you wear hard contact lenses, it’s advisable to consult your doctor regarding their use during Azopt treatment.
After applying Azopt eye drops, wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting your contact lenses. This waiting period allows the medication to take effect without interference from the contacts, ensuring the best results.
