For
the continued safe and comfortable use of
your lenses, it is important to follow the
instructions given to
you by your Eye Care Practitioner. Failure
to follow the correct lens care regimen may
result in the development of serious eye
problems.
Cleaning
and rinsing are essential to remove mucus,
secretions, and deposits which may have
accumulated
during use. Do this immediately after removing
your lenses and prior to disinfecting.
Harmful
germs can only be removed by cleaning, rinsing
and disinfecting.
Use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions.
Never use solutions recommended for conventional
hard lenses only.
Never put your lenses in your mouth or use
anything other than the
recommended solutions
for lubricating or
wetting your lenses.
Never rinse them in tap water, since this
can contain many impurities that can contaminate
or damage your
lenses and may lead to eye infection or
injury.
Put each lens into the correct chamber of
the lens storage system and make sure they
are completely immersed
in the storage solution when they are not
being worn. If lenses left our for long
periods, they
may dry out and become brittle.
Seek the advice of your Eye Care Practitioner
if your lenses are to be stored for extended
periods. Since
lens cases can be a source of bacteria,
after use, they should be emptied, cleaned
and rinsed with
recommended sterile solutions and allowed
to air dry.
Your lens case should also be replaced regularly,
as advised by the lens case manufacturer
or your Eye
care Practitioner.
Never use tap water to rinse your
lens case. |
