Patients often ask about the safety of Upneeq with contact lenses and whether the medication will interfere with their wear. Yes, Upneeq can interact with contact lenses in a few ways. Here’s what you need to consider:
- Remove Lenses Before Use: Always take out your contact lenses before applying Upneeq. The preservative in the drops can permanently stain soft lenses.
- Wait Before Reinserting: After using Upneeq, wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in. This allows the medication to absorb fully.
- Possible Dryness: Upneeq may cause mild eye dryness, which can make wearing lenses less comfortable. Rewetting drops can help.
-
Consult Your Eye Doctor: Discuss your contact lens use when getting an Upneeq prescription to ensure safe and effective results.
Important: Always discuss contact lens use with your eye doctor while getting an Upneeq prescription.
