Clean Your Lenses Properly
Contact lenses should be gently rubbed and rinsed with the recommended lens cleaning solution to remove eye-produced buildup, cosmetics, and other debris. This ensures the lenses remain clear and comfortable to wear.
Use Fresh Solution
Always use fresh cleaning solution in your lens case. Topping off with old solution can reduce the effectiveness of your lenses' cleaning and increase the risk of eye infections.
Follow the Replacement Schedule
Adhere to the replacement schedule prescribed by your eye care professional. Overwearing lenses can lead to discomfort and potentially more serious eye complications.
Keep Lens Case Clean
Regularly clean and dry your lens case after use. Replace the lens case at least every three months to avoid microbial contamination which can lead to severe eye infections.
Wash Your Hands
Before handling contact lenses, you should always wash your hands with soap and water to prevent the transfer of germs and debris to your eyes. This helps in reducing the risk of eye infections.
Avoid Water Contact
Do not expose your contact lenses to water from swimming pools, showers, or oceans. Water can harbor microorganisms that can cause serious eye infections or damage the lenses.
