Wetting solutions and artificial tears can be used with contacts in. Other drops such as glaucoma drops or dry eye prescription drops or red out drops should not be placed with contacts in.you couldtake contact out put drop in wait 10 minutes then replace contact lenses.

Only certain eye drops will do well with contact lenses and their label will specifically mention "for contacts." Otherwise, they're to use without contact lenses to make sure they're effective and don't ruin your lenses.
Use only blink for contact lenses
