1. Cleanliness

Cleanliness is the first and most important aspect of proper contact lens care, especially for yearly replacement contact lenses. It’s essential to care for and follow proper maintenance for successful wearing.

 

2. Cleaning and Disinfection Solutions

Cleaning and disinfecting solutions are important to kill microorganisms responsible for eye infections. Remember always to use fresh solution and discard solution from the lens case after each use.

​

The saline solution is for rinsing contact lenses.

The daily cleaner is for cleaning contact lenses.

 

Place a few drops in the palm of your hand and carefully rub the lens for as long as directed, usually around 20 seconds, making sure to clean both sides.

​

The multipurpose solution is for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storing your contact lenses.

Clean your lenses as you would with daily cleaner, then rinse, disinfect, and store with a multipurpose solution.

Contact lens cleaning has become more manageable with an Automatic Contact Lens Cleaner device that automatically cleans them. The device is clinically tested and proven to be three times more effective than standard finger rubbing cleansing and a lot safer.

 

3. Lens Case Cleanliness

Proper lens case cleaning and frequent case replacement are essential for minimizing the risk of contamination. Rinse the lens case and cover it in hot running water. Lens cases should be replaced at least every three (3) months.

 

4. Re-wetting Eye Drops

Use Contacts Eye Drops for re-wetting contact lenses as needed to alleviate symptoms of lens dryness.

 

5. Do not sleep with your contact lenses in your eyes

 

6. Suggested wearing schedule for contact lenses is not more than 8 hours per day.

 

7. Tap water should not be used for rinsing or storing lenses

Tap water contains chlorine, minerals and metal particles, which can damage both the lenses and the eye. Most importantly, water contains microorganisms, which can lead to serious infections of the eye.

 

8. Don't Panic when removing the lens or feeling the lens is lost behind your eye

The lens can NEVER get lost behind your eye. The lens should work itself around where you can see it. If the lens does not work itself around, try putting some rewetting drops or a few drops of saline solution into your eye. Next, look up, down and from side to side to attempt to move the lens. You can also close your eyes and GENTLY move your finger over your eyelids around the socket of the eye to reposition the lens. This may help move the lens to where you can see it more easily.

 

9. Put in your contact lenses before applying makeup

To avoid contaminating your contact lens, put your contact lens on clean hands before applying makeup. When removing your makeup, be sure that you wash and dry your hands. Once you have done this, remove your contact lenses and then remove your makeup.

​

10. Remove your lenses immediately if you develop unusual pain, or experience stinging, redness, unusual blurred vision, discharge or light sensitivity.

Contact lens discomfort can occur for a variety of reasons. If you notice any of the above symptoms, immediately remove your lenses. If the lens is damaged, do not put the lens back on your eye.
