Intro
Good vision starts with good hygiene. Whether you're a first-time wearer or a seasoned pro, proper contact lens care is essential for keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable. Skipping steps or cutting corners might save a few minutes, but it can lead to serious eye infections or discomfort. Let's walk through the fundamental do's and don'ts of lens care to keep your vision crisp and your eyes safe.
Do's
-
Always wash your hands with mild soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before handling your lenses. This prevents dirt, oils, and bacteria from transferring to your eyes.
-
Use fresh solution every single time you store your lenses. Never top off old solution—it loses its disinfecting power and can become contaminated.
-
Replace your lens case regularly, ideally every 1 to 3 months. Cases can harbor bacteria over time, so a fresh case is a small investment in eye health.
-
Clean your lenses as directed—rub and rinse them even with "no-rub" solutions to remove protein buildup and debris.
Don'ts
-
Never sleep in your lenses unless your eye care professional has specifically approved them for overnight wear. Sleeping in lenses drastically increases the risk of infection.
-
Never use tap water, saliva, or distilled water to rinse or store your lenses. Water contains microorganisms that can cause serious eye infections.
-
Don't stretch your wear time beyond the recommended schedule—daily, bi-weekly, or monthly disposables are labeled for a reason. Over wearing breaks down the lens material and reduces oxygen flow to your eyes.
-
Don't reuse or top off solution—always discard used solution and start fresh each time.
