This medication contains phosphate, which can very rarely cause corneal calcification in patients with severe corneal damage, so caution is necessary. Patients wearing contact lenses should wait at least 15 minutes after using this medication before reapplying lenses, as the benzalkonium chloride component can cause eye irritation and discoloration of soft contact lenses.
