| Cleaning and Care contact lenses |
 |
|
|
Except for contact lenses that are worn for a short, continuous period
and then thrown away, all contact lenses require cleaning,
disinfecting, and rinsing on a daily basis. In fact, a contact lens
that has been removed from the eye should never be reinserted without
cleaning and disinfecting. Lenses worn for long periods of time may
also require the use of an enzymatic cleaner to remove buildups of
protein that can irritate the eye and damage the lens.
Here are
the guidelines to follow in caring for your contact lenses:
- Listen carefully to the care instructions given by your eye care
professional and follow them carefully.
- Never sleep in contact lenses unless approved by your eye doctor.
Overnight lenses should never be worn for more than 6 nights in a row.
- Whenever a lens is removed, it should be cleaned, rinsed, and
disinfected before being worn again.
- Remove the lens and clean it with the recommended solution.
Cleaning removes eye-produced buildup, cosmetics and other debris that
impairs lens comfort. It is recommended that you rub the lens in the
palm of your hand with a few drops of solution, even if you are using a
"no-rub" product.
- Place the lens in your clean lens case or lens holder and fill
with fresh solution; don‘t "top off" your old solution. Disinfecting
kills microorganisms on the lens. Disinfection time varies from product
to product; check the package for details.
- Always handle your lenses with clean hands. Wash, rinse, and dry
your hands with a lint-free towel.
- Be careful to protect your lenses from lotions, creams, and
sprays. Lenses should always be inserted before applying makeup and
removed after makeup has been removed.
- Never wet your lenses with saliva, tap water, or any homemade
solutions. Always use recommended commercial products.
Lens cases should be emptied, rinsed, and sterilized every day, and
then left open to air dry. |
