Healthy Guidelines for Wearing Contact Lenses

Inserting Your Contact Lenses:

1. Wash Your Hands

   Before handling your contact lenses, wash your hands using plain soap without moisturizer or perfumes, rinse well, and then dry with a lint-free towel.

2. Rinse Your Contact Lenses

   Rinse the lens well with fresh multipurpose or saline solution approved by your eye care professional.

   • Never rinse your lenses in water from the tap. There are two reasons for this:
   • Tap water contains many impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses and may lead to eye infection or injury.
   • You might lose the lens down the drain.

3. Inspect Your Contact Lens

   Place the contact lens on your index finger and make sure it’s clean. The lens should appear as a bowl. If the edges flare out, the lens is inverted.

4. Place Your Contact Lenses

   • Hold your upper eye lashes (not your eye lid) to prevent blinking.
   • Pull your bottom eyelid down.
   • Focus on a steady point with your other eye.
   • Gently place the lens on your central cornea, not the side

5. Check and Confirm

   After your contact lens is fully in place, move your fingers away from your eye slowly and gently blink. This will help prevent the lens from moving away from the cornea (the transparent surface that covers your pupil and iris).

Removing Your Contact Lenses:

1. Wash Your Hands and Inspect Your Contact Lenses

   • Thoroughly clean your hands with plain soap
   • Look straight ahead into a mirror.

2. Remove Your Contact Lenses

   • Confirm that the lens is resting squarely on the cornea
   • Look up and gently slide the lens down
   • Carefully squeeze it between your thumb and index finger to remove the lens.

3. Clean and Disinfect Your Contact Lenses

   Your contact lenses must be cleaned and disinfected every day after you wear them. To do this:

   • Place one lens (always the same lens first to avoid mix-ups) in the palm of your hand with a couple of drops of fresh multipurpose solution or daily cleanser on it.
   • Then, rub the lens back and forth with your index finger for 15 seconds.
   • After rubbing, rinse the lens using multipurpose or saline solution.
   • Finally, place the lens in multipurpose solution or hydrogen peroxide solution to disinfect the lens as prescribed by your eye care professional.

4. Store Contact Lenses

   Fill your contact lens storage case with fresh, prescribed care solution—never top off any old solution with new. Place your clean lenses into the case, following your eye doctor’s recommendations. Also, be sure to rinse out your case after every use, storing them open and upside down in a dry, clean place. Replace your contact lens case at regular intervals.

Adverse Reactions (Problems And What To Do)

If you notice any issue with your contact lenses such as eye stinging, burning, itching, eye pain, comfort less than when lens was first put in, abnormal feeling of something in the eye, excessive watering, unusual eye secretions, redness, reduced sharpness of vision, blurred vision, rainbows or halos around objects, sensitivity to light or dry eyes you should.

• Immediately remove your lenses.
• If the discomfort or problem stops, then look closely at the lens. If the lens is in any way damaged, do not put the lens back on your eye. Place the lens in the storage case and contact your eye care professional. If the lens has dirt, an eyelash, or other foreign body on it, or the problem stops and the lens appears undamaged, you should thoroughly clean, rinse, and disinfect the lenses; then reinsert them. After reinsertion, if the problem continues, you should immediately remove the lenses and consult your eye care professional.
• When any of the above problems continue, a serious condition may be present. You should keep the lens off your eye until your eye care professional can identify the problem. Always use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions.
• Regular check-up examinations by your eye care professional are an important part of wearing contact lenses. We recommended that you follow your eye care professional's directions for follow up examinations. Be sure to keep all appointments for your check-up visits.
