Right wear the monthly disposables that stay in 24hrs a day. Hayfever sufferers,which eye drops are you using WITH contact lenses?
Taking them out/putting back in causes too much irritation so they MUST stay in

I didn't think that there were any eye drops you could use with soft contact lenses. Certainly the sodium cromoglicate ones can't be used (at least that's the advice). Glasses or tablets would be your best bet I think.

I use the monthly 24/7 lenses too.
Specsavers (who I have my contact lens contract with) sold me some "Blink" drops. They seem to work well, combined with Loratidine tablets.

I always suffered really badly with Hayfever. I would wear glasses during the hayfever months, as contact lens would be agony.
However, I have discovered a few diet changes makes a huge difference to how badly I suffer so during the bad months I just eat a particular way. I don't even take any medication for it now.

I could but I would probably become the object of a million jokes on here. But basically I become vegan for the summer months.

The SIL has had contacts implanted into her eyes allegedly they are pretty good. Kind of expensive though

I'm a hayfever suffering contact lens wearer but a combination of Cetirizine tablets and nasal spray has pretty much meant no issues any more.

You want the nasal spray with Fluticasone Propionate in - branded as Pirinase I think but you can get unbranded generic versions. Either go to the docs for a prescription or buy some over the counter at a chemist.

I used Beconase spray before which was OK but this stuff is awesome.

Contacts and hayfever. On loratadine daily. When its really bad I supplement this by eating raw white onion and that sees me through.
