The quick guide to contact lens care

How to keep your lenses clean:

  • Always wash and dry hands before handling your contact lenses.
  • Rub and rinse the surface of each contact before storing.
  • Use only sterile products recommended by your optometrist to clean and disinfect your lenses. Saline solution and rewetting drops are not designed for disinfecting or storing lenses.
  • Do not use water to wash or store your contacts.
  • Contact lens solution must be discarded each time lenses are removed from the case.
  • Use fresh solution each time a lens is placed inside the case.
  • Replace your contacts with new ones using the schedule prescribed by your optometrist.
  • Keep your contact lens case clean by rinsing it with the multi-purpose solution and replace the case with a new one at least yearly.
  • Do not sleep in your contacts unless told to do so by your optometrist.
  • Do not swim with your contacts in. Wait several hours after swimming before re-inserting your contacts.
  • Do not exchange or wear someone else’s contacts.
  • Do not put your contacts in your mouth.
  • See your optometrist yearly for contact lens evaluations and to check the health of your eyes.
  • Contact lens prescriptions expire one year from prescription date.
  • If you experience any redness, discharge, pain or blurred vision, please remove your contacts and call the office immediately.
