Can I apply dorzolamide while using contact lenses?

No, you should remove your contact lenses before instilling dorzolamide. You can re-insert the lens at least 15 minutes after applying dorzolamide. Contact your doctor if there is any eye irritation that persists.

Can I apply more than one eye medication at the same time?

Yes, you can. However, when applying multiple eye medications, wait for at least 5-15 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye. This is to avoid dilution of the medicine. Eye ointments should be administered last.

Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in Singapore.
