Tips for trouble-free contact lens wearing

 

These tips are meant as a guide, so always follow the advice of your eye care practitioner.

Always:

  • Follow the product directions for use.  Failure to follow product directions may lead to vision loss
  • Wash hands with a mild soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before touching your lenses
  • Clean, rinse, and disinfect your lenses each time you remove them (follow your eye care practitioner's instructions)
  • Handle the same lens first to avoid confusing  right and left lenses
  • Keep all solution bottles closed when not in use
  • Clean lens case daily and let air dry (replace lens case every month).
  • Use solution before the expiration date marked on the bottle
  • Remove contact lenses before swimming
  • Carry contact lens case along with a bottle of your usual solution as a safe place to store your lenses
  • Schedule regular appointments with your eye care practitioner as he/she recommends
  • Discard any remaining solution 90 days after opening.

Never:

  • Allow soaps, cosmetics, or other substances to come into contact with your lenses
  • Touch the tip of a lens care solution bottle to any surface, including your finger or the contact lens
  • Re-use any lens care solution
  • Use eye drops or solutions not intended for use with contact lenses
  • Wear your contact lenses in the presence of harmful or irritating vapors or fumes
  • Wear lenses for more than the prescribed time
  • Swap contact lenses with anyone
  • Apply hairspray after putting your contact lenses on.
