Best eyedrops to use whilst wearing contact lenses?

can anyone recommend decent eyedrops which can be used whilst wearing lenses?

From this time of year onwards, I suffer with hayfever, and unfortunatly, my eyes become dry and itchy. I think so eyedrops would be a great help, but am unsure of which ones to try. Any recommendations?

    Have a look at the boxes in Boots - they have them esp for contact wearers. Cant remember the names as I no longer wear lenses
  • Yeah, unfortunatly can only use allergy eyedrops whilst wearing daily contact lenses.

    ciba focus Aquify are the ones I used as well

    Best thing I found was a pair of prescription sunglasses tbh I use them all year round, save me from hay fever eyes in the summer and take care of low sun glare when driving in the winter
