Getting the best from your contact lenses

Published by admin at 8:09 am under Uncategorized

Wearing contacts needn’t be a chore if you stick to a few rules:

  • Get regular eye exams to assure white eye health.
  • Always have a back-up pair of glasses with a current prescription, just in case you have problems with your contact lenses.
  • Always check with your Doctor before using any medicine. Some medicines may affect your vision or irritate your eyes.
  • Put on any make up after inserting your lenses.
  • Apply hairspray and deodorants before inserting lenses.
  • Let your employer know if you wear contact lenses.
  • All the best contact lenses come with instructions; so please read them

  • Replace contacts as recommended by your eye care professional.
  • Throw away disposable lenses after recommended wearing period.
Do Not:
  • Sleep in daily wear lenses because even with the best contact lenses, there is a chance of infection or irritation.
  • Buy contact lenses from gas stations, video stores, record shops, or any unauthorized retailer. Contact lenses are medical devices that require a prescription
  • Swap your contact lens with another person. Swapping provides a way to transfer germs between people. The best contact lenses are individually fitted, so there’s no chance of permanent eye injury or infection.
  • Swim without tight fitting goggles. There is a risk of eye infection from bacteria in swimming pool water, hot tubs, lakes and the ocean
