    best rewetting drops for CL

    I was wondering what's the best rewetting drops for contact lens, silicon hydrogels to be more precise. I was talking to my optician and he said that visins are not good for the eyes nor contact lens.

    cheers,

    Although this is not a direct answer to your question, as there is no best anything for everyone,...If silicone hydrogel lenses were so great, wearers wouldn't need rewetting drops.

    Oxygen permeability isn't everything in a contact lens. Wetability, lens lid dynamics, movement, corneal fit, limbal vaulting, and other design features all play an important role.

    Tears of the patient at the time of origional secretion. If this isn't adequate patient needs a better fit, or has conditions either needing treatment or glasses.
