Important Tips for Contact Lens Wearers

People choose to wear contact lenses for various reasons. Contact lenses can be categorized into soft and hard lenses.

In order to help maximize lenses wearing comfort, here are some important tips for successful lenses care:  

• Make sure you wash your hands and dry them with a lint-free towel before applying or removing (or touching) your contact lenses.  
• Always clean, rinse, and disinfect your lenses each time you remove them with multi-purpose solution.   
• Rinse your lenses case daily and let air dry with fresh multi-purpose solution.
•  Always start with the same eye each time so you avoid mixing up the right and the left lenses.   
• Don’t use tap water.
• Avoid sleeping in contact lenses.  
• Remove contact lenses before swimming.   
• Follow your doctor or optometrist recommendations to know how long should contact lenses be worn for.

Discontinue the use of contact lenses if you experience redness, inflammation, or pain and consult your doctor.
