Contact Lense Care

Are you caring for your contacts properly? Here are some good tips to go over to ensure healthy contact wearing habits. 

• Always wash your hands prior to handling your contacts.
• Daily disposable contact lenses are designed to be worn once and then thrown away, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of cleaning or storing the lenses.  
• For soft contacts, find a  solution that conditions, cleans, removes protein, disinfects, rinses and stores soft contact lenses. We recommend Biotrue by Bausch + Lomb or Pure Moist by Alcon. 

• Never reuse solution.
• Replace your lens case every month.
• Never wear your contacts longer then your Dr. Prescribes. Lenses are designed for specific wearing times.Depending on what’s best for your eyes, your eye care professional may recommend a lens designed for daily replacement, a lens designed for two weeks of daily wear, or a lens designed for one month of daily wear.Regardless, it’s really important to follow the replacement schedule your eye doctor gave you – it tells you when you need new lenses. Following it will keep your eyes safe and comfortable – so make sure you stick to it.
