✨Tips for healthy contact lens wear
1. Avoid letting your contact lenses come into contact with tap water ( Yes! Even the shower!). Water can introduce bacteria to your eyes through contact lenses.
2. Avoid overwearing your contact lenses. Stick to your recommended wear schedule to minimise irritation. Your eyes deserve a rest as well.
3. Always stick to your recommended replacement schedule. Discard contact lenses after the recommended replacement period.
4. Never sleep wearing your contact lenses, unless specifically prescribed by your eye practitioner. Sleeping in your lenses can increase the risk of infections.
5. Always wash your hands with soap and water. Dry your hands well with a clean, lint free cloth before handling your contact lenses.
*REMEMBER - Remove your contact lenses immediately and call your eyecare provider if you experience any eye pain, discomfort, redness or blurred vision.
