Can I use Equate saline solution safely as eye drops for my mouse?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Can equate saline solution for sensitive eyes (a contact rinse, not for use as a disinfectant), be used as eye drops for my mouse? I was told to use saline but this is the only solution I could fine for eyes. If not, what should I use?

A quick search of this product shows that it's just saline, so it would be fine to use. Just double-check the ingredients list on the bottle/box and make sure. If you notice other ingredients and are unsure, then you can post a picture of the bottle/box and list the ingredients. I hope that helps and all is well with your mouse.
