Caring for Lens and Case

For the continued safe and comfortable use of your lenses, it is important to follow the instructions given to you by your Eye Care Practitioner.

Failure to follow the correct lens care regime may result in the development of serious eye problems.

Cleaning and rinsing are essential to remove mucus, secretions, and deposits which may have accumulated during use. Do this immediately after removing your lenses and prior to disinfection.

Harmful germs can only be removed by cleaning, rinsing and disinfecting.

~Use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions.

~Never use solutions recommended for conventional hard lenses only.

~Never put your lenses in your mouth or use anything other than the recommended solutions for lubricating or wetting your lenses.

~Never rinse them in tap water, since this can contain many impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses and may lead to eye infection or injury.

~Put each lens into the correct chamber of the lens storage system and make sure they are completely immersed in the storage solution when they are not being worn.

~If lenses left our for long periods, they may dry out and become brittle.

~Seek the advice of your Eye Care Practitioner if your lenses are to be stored for extended periods.

~Since lens cases can be a source of bacteria, after use they should be emptied, cleaned and rinsed with recommended sterile solutions and allowed to air dry.

~Your lens case should also be replaced regularly, as advised by the lens case manufacturer or your Eye care Practitioner.

~Never use tap water to rinse your lens case.
