  • If you drop a lens, clean and disinfect before reapplying.
  • Discard all solutions one month after opening, even if there is solution remaining.
  • Scrub your lens storage case in hot water with a clean washcloth at least once a week.

Don't

 

  • Don't sleep in your contact lenses without doctor approval.
  • Don't wear lenses when you feel ill or are running a fever.
  • Don't wear your lenses if your eyes are uncomfortable or red.
  • Never place a lens n your mouth for cleaning or wetting.
  • Don't expose your contact lenses to any water: Tap, bottled,, distilled, lake or ocean water.  Water is not sterile and increases your risk of infection.  It also lacks the correct salt balance and can damage lenses.
  • Never rub your eyes vigorously while wearing lenses.
  • Don't "top-off" the solutions in your case.  Discard all of the leftover solution after each use. Never reuse any solution.
  • Don't use contact lens solutions past their expiration date.
  • don't mix up your lenses. Always insert or remove the right lense first and ensure that it is safely on your eye or in the storage case before attempting the left.
  • Don't expose your lenses or storage case to undue heat.
  • Don't tranasfer contact lens solutions into smaller, travel size containers.  This can affect the sterility of the solution.
