Allegro combines a proven eye lubricant with ectoin, an ingredient that attracts and holds water, to help form a protective hydration layer on the eye's surface. That makes it a common first choice when dryness comes with irritation from pollen, dust or other things in the air, and for contact lens wearers who want a drop they can use with lenses in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs Allegro right for me?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA good fit if your eyes feel dry, scratchy or irritated, especially outdoors or around pollen and dust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA good fit if you wear contact lenses and want a preservative-free drop you can use with lenses in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA good fit if your dryness is mild to moderate and you want a simple, everyday lubricant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-hylo-relief\"\u003eOPTASE HYLO Relief\u003c\/a\u003e if your symptoms are mild and you want the lightest, no-blur feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-hylo-forte-preservative-free-eye-drops-10ml\"\u003eOPTASE HYLO Forte\u003c\/a\u003e if your dryness is moderate to severe or lightweight drops wear off too quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peeqpro.com\/products\/optase-dry-eye-intense-drops-0-33-oz\"\u003eOPTASE Dry Eye Intense\u003c\/a\u003e if you want the thickest drop in the OPTASE line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreservative-free, so it's gentle enough for frequent daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps relieve dryness and irritation of the eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps protect against further irritation from everyday environmental irritants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains ectoin, which attracts and holds water on the eye's surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact lens compatible, including while wearing lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-dose bottle, with no single-use vials to open and throw away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash your hands.

Allegro pairs hydroxyethyl cellulose with ectoin and is a good everyday choice when irritants like pollen and dust bother dry eyes.

It relieves dryness and helps protect against further irritation, which can help when pollen and dust make dry eyes feel worse. If you have itchy, watery allergy symptoms, ask your eye doctor whether an allergy drop is right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Allegro with contact lenses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
