● Caring for your lenses
- Always wash and rinse your hands thoroughly before you handle your lenses.
-
To avoid getting your lenses mixed up, always apply (or remove) your lenses, one at a time, in the same order.
-
Never use eye drops or solutions that aren’t specifically for contact lenses.
-
Don’t use saliva to try and wet or clean your lenses.
-
Don’t sleep in your lenses (unless you wear lenses that are specifically designed for continuous wear and your eye care professional has prescribed them for that wear schedule).
-
Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses every time you remove them.
-
Keep all your solution bottles tightly capped when you’re not using them.
-
Don’t let the tip of solution bottles touch any surface (including your fingers, eyes or lenses).
-
Never use expired lens solutions.
-
Never re-use lens solutions.
-
Never swap lenses with someone else.
-
Rinse your lens case every day and let it air-dry.
-
Replace your lens case every three months (or more frequently).
-
Don’t let cosmetics like soap, makeup, moisturizers or sunscreen touch your lenses.
-
Never wear your lenses when you’re going to be around irritating fumes or vapors (paint, hairspray, oven cleaner, etc.)
-
Don’t swim or go in a hot tub while wearing your lenses.
