Essential Contact Lens Care Tips
Contact lenses are a convenient alternative to glasses, but they require proper care to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.
Before Handling Lenses
- Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly
- Avoid using soap with moisturizers or perfumes
- Check your lenses for any damage before inserting
Cleaning Your Lenses
- Use only recommended contact lens solutions
- Never use tap water or saliva to clean lenses
- Rub lenses gently with solution for 20 seconds
- Rinse thoroughly before storing
Storage Tips
- Replace your lens case every 3 months
- Clean the case daily with fresh solution
- Never top off old solution in the case
- Let the case air dry when not in use
When to Replace
Follow your eye care professional's replacement schedule. Daily lenses should be discarded after each use. Monthly lenses should be replaced every 30 days, even if they still feel comfortable.
