- Wash your hands with soap and water. Dry them well with a clean cloth before touching your contact lenses every time.
- Don’t sleep in your contact lenses, unless prescribed by your eye doctor.
- Keep water away from your contact lenses. Avoid showering in contact lenses, and remove them before using a hot tub or swimming.
- Don’t “top off” solution. Use only fresh contact lens disinfecting solution – never mix fresh solution with old or used solution.
- Replace your contact lens case at least once every three months.
- Give your eyes a rest.
- Disinfect the night before planned wear, if you wear contact lenses sporadically.
- Decorative lenses must be prescribed and fitted by an eye care professional.
