for a short period comes with a greater health risk compared
with nightly removal.

than prescribed.

- Clean your lens
case at least once a week and let it air-dry, or preferably
replace lens case once a month.
Go for a complete eye examination every 12 months
or more frequently if directed by your optometrist
Clean and disinfect your lenses every day.
- Wash your hands
with, preferably, a non-perfume soap before handling
your lenses.
- Don't wash your lenses in distilled water,
tap water or non-sterile homemade saline.
- Do not let
your solutions bottle tip touch any surface, including
your contact lenses, as
it will become
contaminated.
- Use a solution recommended
by your doctor. Not all solutions can be used for all
contact
lenses.
- Use water based cosmetic formulations.
- Insert lenses
before applying eye makeup and take them out before
removing the
make-up again.
