Common conclusions
Contact lenses are definitely more convenient than a pair of glasses, but you should also know to maintain it well to prevent infections and other problems that may come with it. Unlike glasses, these lenses are in close contact with your eye, so it may take some time to get used to it as well. So, if you feel uncomfortable for the first few days, give it time, and you'll start feeling comfortable soon.
Never try to save on money or quality when it comes to your health, especially your eye lenses since they are going to be in close contact with your eyes for many hours. Make sure you buy your supplies from reputed companies that have a remarkable track record of providing the best supplies.
Ideally, remove your contact lenses after about 10 to 12 hours and switch to a pair of glasses. In particular, never go to sleep with your lenses as this can greatly boost the chances of an eye infection. When you remove the contact lenses and put them in the lens solution, you remove all the dirt and dust that had accumulated on it. By wearing it all the time, you increase the possibility of this dust to enter your eyes, thereby increasing the chances of infection and sometimes, even permanent damage.
Cleanliness and hygiene is an important part of caring for your eyes. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before you touch your lenses as this can prevent the infection from getting to your eyes. Also, make sure to dry your hand with a clean towel after washing as this may make it easier to wear, adjust, or remove your lenses.
Clean your contact lens case at least a few times a week and replace it at least once every three months. Ideally, use the contact lens solution and not water to clean your lens case and then dry it with a clean tissue. Never allow it to air-dry as the fine dust and dirt can get into it. Also, after each use, remove the caps and keep your lens case upside down
Great! Just ensure that you empty the existing solution in your lens case before adding new ones as topping off is never a good idea.
Never use water or saliva in place of a contact lens solution as they can infect the lenses with germs and other fine particles that are not visible to the naked eyes. Also, use the contact lens solution recommended by your healthcare provider.
