How long should you wait to reinsert soft contact lenses after administering BAK containing eye drops?

5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
20 minutes

The correct answer is: 15 minutes

Soft contact lenses should not be reinserted immediately after administering eye drops that contain benzalkonium chloride (BAK) due to the potential for absorption of the preservative by the lenses. It is recommended to wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting soft contact lenses to minimize the risk of irritation or adverse effects on the eyes. Waiting for 15 minutes allows for the eye drops to be absorbed and reduces the likelihood of the preservative coming into contact with the eyes when the lenses are back in place.
