Hello
I guess you mean hydrochloroquine by HCQS.
There is no side effect of this on contact lens.
You can use contact lens for correction of refractive error.
You just need to take the usual precautions as required for contact lenses like using them for 8-10 hours a day, not to sleep with contacts, proper storage and care of lenses....
Thank you
