Relax. Many people are concerned that while putting on their contact lenses, they will scratch their eyes or, even worse, that the contact lens will become lodged behind their eye. Relax. It’s normal to feel anxious when putting on and taking off contact lenses, but as awkward as it may seem, you shouldn’t be frightened to touch your eye as long as your hands are clean. And no, your lenses can’t go behind your eye.
Maintain a clean lens. Don’t skimp on lens cleaning for items with a monthly or two-week lifespan. For the particular lens care regimen they have chosen for you, your optometrist will provide you with specific instructions. If you are instructed to use a multipurpose solution each time you remove your lenses, you should rub and rinse them before putting them in new solution. Don’t merely add more solution to the case’s existing solution. Empty the case entirely before rinsing with fresh solution and leaving it upside-down on a piece of paper towel to air dry after inserting your lenses.
Pay attention to your optometrist’s advice. Use only the products that your optometrist has advised you to use. Never mix contact lenses and water. Never substitute a lens care product or eye drop without first consulting your optometrist. It’s crucial to remember your appointments. Maintain the follow-up schedule your optometrist establishes.
Follow the recommended wearing and replacing schedule. Avoid attempting to create your own rules. Wear your contact lenses only for the amount of time recommended by your doctor, and replace them as directed. Don’t attempt to extend the lifespan of your lenses. Additionally, you should avoid goinv to sleep wearing contacts unless you were explicitly prescribed continuous wear lenses.
Properly dispose of contact lenses and packaging. Make sure to throw the contact lenses away in a bin, don’t let them go down the sink. Replace your holder every time you get one with your new solution.
