Instructions for Handling Contact Lenses
Wearing contact lenses is a reasonable method of attaining good vision as an alternative to glasses. Adhering to the lens care system recommended is important. The risk of complications increases when you do not adhere to the lens care system prescribed for you. Switching or mixing products could cause irritation and/or permanently discolor your lenses.
DO :

• DO wash your hands before handling your lenses
• DO clean the lenses first and then disinfect them. A lens should never be inserted that has not been disinfected by the system provided.
• DO keep lenses moist to prevent tearing. Wet lenses with saline before picking them up from a dry surface or cleaning them to prevent tearing.
• DO insert lenses before applying cosmetics and remove lenses before removing cosmetics.
• DO use only the solutions recommended by your eye doctor.
• DO keep your contact lens case clean.
• DO remember to clean and disinfect your lenses if they are stored more than 48 hours.

DO NOT :

• DO NOT soak them in tap or distilled water or use saliva to wet your lenses.
• DO NOT sleep in your lenses unless instructed by your eye doctor.
• DO NOT use contact lenses if your eyes are irritated or red.
• DO NOT use waterproof mascara. It is very difficult to clean off lenses.
• DO NOT apply contact lenses in a moving vehicle.

Caution:
If you experience redness, secretion, visual blurring, or pain, remove your contact lenses at once. If the symptom subsides, the lenses can be cleaned and reinserted. If the lenses are removed and the symptom does not subside or reappears upon reinsertion, remove the lenses immediately and inform your eye doctor.
Contact lenses require proper care and handling. Contacts lenses do not develop tears, nicks, or scratches by themselves. They are only caused through mishandling of the lenses. How well you care and handle them will determine how long they last. You must follow all instructions in caring for and handling your lenses. Failure to do so could damage your lenses.
