How do I take care of contacts?

Just as with any medical device, taking care of contacts and properly cleaning them is crucial to your eye safety and to helping the contacts stay in good condition. However, the specifics vary based on type of lens. So, you should check with your doctor about your contacts and what the best care for them would be.

All lenses need regular cleaning and proper storage. Based on whether you wear daily-wear soft lenses, extended-wear soft lenses, or gas permeables, the cleaning regimen will vary. However, it may include some or all of this list:

• Cleaning
• Rinsing
• Disinfecting
• Enzymatic cleaning
• Lens case cleaning
• All-in-one “No Rub” solution

Make sure that you always buy and use sterile solutions. Home-made saline solutions can be very dangerous to your contacts and to you.
