❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the biggest difference from FX Neo or FX V Plus?
A. The biggest difference is that it can be used while wearing soft Contact lenses. FX Neo, V Plus, and AL cannot be used while wearing soft Contact lenses, but FX Contact can be used while wearing all Contact lenses except colored Contact lenses. It is a formula specialized for Contact lens users.
Q. Can I use it while wearing colored Contact lenses?
A. It cannot be used while wearing colored Contact lenses. It can be used while wearing soft, hard, O2, or disposable lenses other than colored Contact lenses.
Q. Do I have to remove my Contact lenses before use?
A. No, it can be used while wearing all Contact lenses except colored Contact lenses. This is the biggest feature of FX Contact.
Q. How many times a day can I use it?
A. The dosage is 1 to 3 drops per use, 5 to 6 times a day. Compared to other FX series, the number of drops per use has a wider range (1 to 3 drops), allowing adjustment according to the condition of your eyes.
Q. Does it also work for redness and itching?
A. The anti-inflammatory effect of aminocaproic acid suppresses redness and inflammation caused by wearing Contact lenses. However, since it does not contain vasoconstrictors (tetrahydrozoline) or anti-allergy ingredients (sodium cromoglicate), FX AL or FX Neo may be more suitable for allergic itching or severe redness.
Q. Can children use this too?
A. Can be used under the guidance and supervision of a guardian. Please consult a doctor before use on infants.
