Routine eye exams are crucial to ensure eye health.

Contact lenses are one of the most common causes of dry, uncomfortable eyes. Lenses sit directly on the tear film, and every blink, every hour of wear, and every screen you look at pulls a little more moisture away from the surface of your eye. CorneaCare's Ripple™ Preservative-Free Contact Lens Compatible Lubricating Eye Drops were built specifically to solve this problem, restoring comfort and moisture without ever having to take your lenses out.

Most lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) on the market weren't designed with contact lenses in mind. Some contain ingredients that can cloud lenses, get trapped underneath them, or simply weren't tested for lens compatibility at all. That leaves contact lens wearers guessing, or worse, avoiding drops altogether, and just living with the discomfort.

That's why we created Ripple™, a preservative-free lubricating eye drop that's formulated and tested to be safe to use with your contact lenses, before you put them in, during wear and after you take them out. It's part of the same CorneaCare system that includes our Rise™ Eyelid Wipes, Rest™ Warm Compresses and Rescue™ Cold Compresses.

Ripple™ comes in a 10mL multi-dose bottle with a patented valve technology that keeps the tears sterile for up to 90 days after opening. Since it's multi-dose, you don't need to carry around single-use vials in your bag or your lens case. Just one bottle that goes wherever your contacts go.

Ripple contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), glycerin, and povidone, which promote lubrication, hydration, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, so your eyes and your contact lenses feel comfortable from morning to night.

Ripple™ is clean, convenient, contact lens compatible, and effective, making it the eye drop contact lens wearers need in their daily routine.

Wearing contact lenses is one of the most well-documented risk factors for dry eye and ocular surface discomfort.¹

Lenses sit directly on top of your tear film, which is the thin layer of moisture that keeps your eyes lubricated. Every time you blink, the lens can disrupt that tear film, leading to faster tear evaporation as the day goes on.

On top of that, extended screen time (something most contact lens wearers deal with all day at work) reduces your natural blink rate even further, compounding the dryness.

The result is a familiar pattern for millions of contact lens wearers: eyes feel fine in the morning, then get progressively drier, grittier, and more irritated by the afternoon and evening.

Walk down any pharmacy aisle and you'll see "rewetting drops" marketed specifically for contact lens wearers, sitting right next to standard lubricating eye drops.²

Rewetting drops are designed specifically to hydrate the lens, while contact lens compatible lubricating eye drops lubricate both the lenses and the eyes. Moreover, the marketing difference between the two isn't always clear, and many rewetting drops on the market still contain preservatives, which can build up on soft lenses with repeated use throughout the day.

Ripple™ removes the guesswork. It's a preservative-free formula that's contact lens compatible, so you don't have to decide between a "regular" tear and a "contact lens" tear. Ripple is built to do both.

This distinction matters even more for contact lens wearers. Preservatives, specifically benzalkonium chloride found in many eye drops, are not gentle on the ocular surface if used repeatedly.³ And because soft contact lenses are absorbent, they can soak up preservatives from eye drops and slowly release them back onto the eye, extending the irritation long after you've put the drops in.

A good rule of thumb: if you wear contact lenses and use eye drops more than a couple of times a day, preservative-free is the safer choice.

Drops with a preservative-free formula will be explicitly stated on the packaging or designated by either “Preservative Free” or abbreviated as "PF." Of course, CorneaCare's Ripple™ lubricating eye drops are preservative-free and safe for daily use with your lenses.

If you've used preservative-free lubricating eye drops before, chances are you've used single-use vials. Without preservatives, single-use vials were historically the only way to keep eye drops sterile.

But vials are cumbersome to carry around, especially alongside a lens case, solution, and spare pair of contacts you might already be traveling with. They're easy to misplace, and once opened, they need to be used right away.

CorneaCare's Ripple™ comes in a multi-dose bottle with a patented valve technology that keeps the tears sterile for up to 90 days after opening. That means all the benefits of a preservative-free, contact lens compatible lubricant, without a pile of single-use containers taking up space in your bag.

Ripple has three key ingredients: sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), glycerin, and povidone. Together, they provide fast-acting hydration, lubrication and symptomatic relief.⁴

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) is a humectant, and it primarily works by attracting, binding and holding onto water, which supplements the aqueous layer of your tear film, the same layer your contact lens rests on.

Glycerin and povidone are demulcents, which soothe and protect irritated and inflamed tissue. They also work as emollients, which can soften and smooth the ocular surface, helping lenses glide on and off more comfortably.

Contact lens discomfort is one of the most common reasons people give up on wearing lenses altogether. Symptoms include dryness, a gritty or foreign-body sensation, burning, redness, and blurry vision that tends to build as the day goes on.

Using a contact lens compatible lubricating eye drops, such as CorneaCare's Ripple™, can help relieve these symptoms without requiring you to remove your lenses, so you can keep going about your day.

Dry eye disease is also known as dry eye syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and ocular surface disease.⁵ The classic symptoms are burning, gritty sensation, blurry vision, light sensitivity, itchiness, irritated eyes, watery eyes, dryness, stinging, red eyes, and eye pain, all of which contact lenses can make more noticeable.

The first step in dry eye treatment is eyelid hygiene, which helps stabilize the tear film. CorneaCare's Ripple™ can then be added throughout the day, even with your lenses in, to supplement the tear film and keep your lenses comfortable.

The constant itching, eye rubbing, and watering from eye allergies can be especially disruptive for contact lens wearers, since rubbing your eyes with lenses in can dislodge or damage a lens. CorneaCare's Ripple™ can provide comfort and soothe the inflamed ocular surface without needing to take your lenses out first.

Many contact lens wearers spend most of their day looking at screens, which reduces blink rate and accelerates tear evaporation. This combination of lens wear and screen time is one of the most common causes of end-of-day dryness.

Keeping a bottle of Ripple™ at your desk makes it easy to rewet your lenses during the day, without breaking away from what you're doing.

Remove the pull tab, and then remove the protective cap. Do not touch the tip.
Tilt the bottle and squeeze one or two drops in both eyes. Safe to use with your contact lenses in.
Replace the protective cap back on.
After placing the drops, keep eyes closed for one to two minutes to enhance moisture.
Use 3 to 4 times a day, or whenever your contact lenses start to feel dry.

Keep a bottle of Ripple™ with you, in your bag or at your desk, so you can use it the moment your eyes start to experience symptoms
Combine CorneaCare Ripple™ with our eyelid hygiene routines for double the effect, especially if you wear lenses for extended hours.
Our multi-dose bottle is good for up to 90 days after opening, however, it's very important that you do not touch the tip of the bottle with your fingers, your lenses, or your eyes. Please discard the bottle if this happens.
It's easier to place drops in your eyes while sitting.
Aim for the inner part of the eyeball closest to the nose.
It is totally fine if more than 1 drop goes into your eyes.
It's also fine if the drops run down your cheek.
Keep your eyes closed for a few seconds after putting in the drops to get the best effect.
