Contact lenses give you the freedom to see clearly without frames, but they also come with a big responsibility: proper care. Poor hygiene or habits can lead to irritation, infections, or even long-term eye damage.
At EyeCare, we want you to enjoy the comfort and confidence of contact lenses safely. Here’s what you need to know.
- Wash, Rinse, Repeat
Always wash and dry your hands before handling your lenses. Even tiny traces of dirt or oil can stick to the lens and cause discomfort or infection.
- Clean Lenses the Right Way
Use only the recommended contact lens solution. Never use water or any other liquid. Gently rub and rinse lenses with solution before storing them in a clean case.
- Replace on Time
Every lens type has a schedule: daily, bi-weekly, or monthly. Sticking to that schedule reduces the risk of buildup and infection. Never “stretch” your lenses longer than advised.
- Care for Your Case, Too
A dirty lens case can contaminate your lenses. Rinse your case with fresh solution (not water) and let it air dry daily. Replace the case every 1–3 months.
- Give Your Eyes a Break
Sleeping with contact lenses (unless prescribed) reduces oxygen supply to your eyes. This increases the risk of irritation and serious infections. Remove them before bed and let your eyes rest.
- Know When to Stop
If your eyes feel red, irritated, or unusually dry, take out your lenses and switch to glasses. Don’t ignore the signs — it’s your eyes asking for a pause.
