  • While contact lenses are safely used by millions
    of people every day, they do carry a risk of eye
    infection. Factors contributing to infection can
    include
  •  
  • Use of extended-wear lenses
  • Reduced tear exchange under the lens
  • Environmental factors
  • Poor hygiene.

Taking Care of Your Lenses
Risk of infection varies somewhat depending on
the type of contact lens. Single-use daily
disposable lenses are the safest type of soft
contact lens, in terms of reducing the risk of
infection. Here mentioned are the few tips to
take care of your contact lenses.

Tip 1
  • Before handling contact lenses, wash your hands
    with soap and water, then rinse and dry them with
    a lint-free towel.
  • Minimise contact with water, including removing
    lenses before going swimming or in a hot tub.

Tip 2
  • Do not put your lenses in your mouth to wet them.
    Saliva is not a sterile solution.
  • Do not use saline solution and rewetting drops to
    disinfect lenses. Neither is an effective or
    approved disinfectant.

Tip 3
  • Wear and replace contact lenses according to the
    schedule prescribed by your eye care
    professional. 
  • Follow the specific contact lens cleaning and
    storage guidelines from your eye care
    professional and the solution manufacturer.

Tip 4
  • Rinse the contact lens case with fresh solution
    not water. Then leave the empty case open to air
    dry.
  • Keep the contact lens case clean and replace it
    regularly, at least every three months. Lens
    cases can be a source of contamination and
    infection. Do not use cracked or damaged lens
    cases.

Dont Do Things
  • Do not re-use old solution or "top off" the
    solution in your lens case.
  • Do not transfer contact lens solution into
    smaller travel-size containers. This can affect
    the sterility of the solution, which can lead to
    an eye infection.
