What precautions should be taken while wearing lenses?

To safely wear contact lenses, always wash and dry your hands before handling them, use the correct solution for cleaning and disinfecting, and remove them before sleeping or swimming.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of precautions to take while wearing contact lenses:

Hygiene and Handling:

  • Wash and dry hands: Before inserting, removing, or handling your lenses, thoroughly wash and dry your hands with soap and a lint-free towel. 

  • Use the correct solution: Always use the lens solution recommended by your eye doctor for cleaning and disinfecting your lenses. 

    • Don't reuse solution: Never reuse old solution or top off old solution in the case. 
  • Don't touch the lens with fingernails: Keep your fingernails trimmed short to avoid scratching or damaging the lenses. 

  • Don't use tap water: Never use tap water to rinse or store your lenses, as it can harbor harmful microorganisms. 

  • Replace your lenses:  Follow the replacement schedule provided by your eye doctor or the lens manufacturer. 

  • Replace your case regularly: Replace your lens case every 3 months or as recommended by your eye doctor.

  • Take off lenses before applying makeup: Remove your lenses before applying makeup, and put them back in after makeup is applied.
