1. Cleanliness

Maintaining proper hygiene is the most important aspect of contact lens care, especially for yearly replacement lenses.

Proper maintenance and adherence to cleaning routines are essential for safe and successful wear.

 

2. Cleaning and Disinfection Solutions

Using the right cleaning and disinfecting solutions is crucial for eliminating microorganisms that can cause eye infections.

Always use fresh solution and discard any leftover liquid from the lens case after each use.

• Saline Solution – Used for rinsing contact lenses.

• Daily Cleaner – Used for removing debris and buildup from lenses.

  • Apply a few drops to the palm of your hand.

  • Gently rub the lens for the recommended time (usually around 20 seconds), ensuring both sides are cleaned.

• Multipurpose Solution – Used for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting, and storing contact lenses.

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

For added convenience, an Automatic Contact Lens Cleaner provides a clinically tested, safer, and more effective cleaning method—up to three times more efficient than manual rubbing.

 

3. Lens Case Hygiene

Proper care and regular replacement of your lens case help reduce the risk of contamination.

• Rinse the case and lid with hot running water daily.

• Replace your lens case at least every three (3) months.

 

4. Re-wetting Eye Drops

Use contact lens-compatible re-wetting drops as needed to relieve dryness and discomfort.

 

5. Avoid Sleeping with Contact Lenses

Never sleep while wearing contact lenses, as this can increase the risk of eye infections and irritation.

 

6. Recommended Wearing Time

Limit contact lens wear to a maximum of 8 hours per day to maintain eye health and comfort.

 

7. Avoid Tap Water for Rinsing or Storing Lenses

Tap water contains chlorine, minerals, and microorganisms that can damage lenses and lead to serious eye infections.

Always use sterile solutions designed for contact lenses.

 

8. What to Do If You Can't Find Your Lens in Your Eye

A contact lens cannot get lost behind your eye. If you feel like it has moved out of place:

• Apply re-wetting drops or saline solution to your eye.

• Look up, down, and side to side to reposition the lens.

• Gently massage your closed eyelid in circular motions to help move the lens into view.

 

9. Contact Lenses & Makeup

To avoid contamination:

• Insert your contact lenses before applying makeup.

• When removing makeup, first wash and dry your hands, then remove your lenses before taking off makeup.

 

10. When to Remove Your Lenses Immediately

If you experience any of the following symptoms, remove your lenses immediately:

• Unusual pain or discomfort

• Stinging or burning sensation

• Redness or irritation

• Blurred vision

• Eye discharge

• Light sensitivity

 

If the lens is damaged, do not reinsert it. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and comfortable experience with your contact lenses.
