Contact Lens Hygiene Tips
When you wear your contact lenses they absorb foreign particles
and protein which can build up on the surface of the contact lens
and affect you vision and comfort, which makes cleaning and care
of your lenses a must.
Improper care of your contact lenses may lead to a variety of
infections, some of which can cause blindness so it is of the utmost
importance that you follow the correct procedures for caring for
your contact lens as recommended by your optometrist. This will
result in the best level of care for your lenses and avoid any nasty
infections.
Always use clean hands.
Store contact lenses in a clean case, we recommend you replace your
case every 1 to 3 months.
Use fresh solution each time you put your lens into the case, and
make sure you cover the lens with solution.
Remember to close the solution bottle to avoid contamination.
Never let soap or other disinfectants touch your lens.
