Tips for care of contact lens

New Delhi, August 11, 2018 :

• 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.
• Never use lenses that have not been approved by the FDA
