Today, wearing contact lenses is easier than ever before. With more types of lenses and lens care products available to an ever-widening audience, it's easy to see why contact lenses are a popular option. Contact lenses allow for a more natural field of vision, as they move with your eyes. They are a fantastic option for people who practice sports such as snow boarding, and also for people who need the freedom of moving around and work in constricted spaces such as electricians and plumbers.

Wear and Care Tips

  1. Always wear your contact lenses as prescribed by the doctor
  2. Wash your hands with soap and water and dry with a lint-free towel prior to handling your lenses
  3. Lenses removed from your eyes must be cleaned, rinsed, and disinfected after each wearing period if they are reused
  4. Remove your lenses immediately if they become uncomfortable
  5. Do not insert a new or spare lens into an eye that is red, irritated, or painful. Consult with the doctor before wearing your lenses overnight or while sleeping
  6. Replace your lenses with a new pair as often as prescribed by the doctor
  7. Do not store or rinse lenses in any non-sterile water, including tap water
  8. Do not swim, shower or use a hot tub while wearing soft contact lenses
  9. Do not use saliva or put lenses in mouth to rewet
  10. Discard any soft contact lenses that are damaged or dehydrated
  11. Avoid using aerosols when wearing contact lenses
  12. Discard any remaining solution in your lens case and refill it with fresh solution before placing the lenses in the case again

Routine follow up visits help prevent complications and problems with your contact lenses. Only a thorough examination can determine how your eyes are responding to contact lenses.
