Contact lenses necessitate proper treatment and care in order to be a safe and feasible option for those requiring corrective eye wear. Improper care can lead to ripped or torn lenses, or even worse, eye infections or abrasions, which on occasion results in blindness. Children and adults that are not capable of properly taking care of their contact lenses may want to opt for an alternative option for vision correction.

Don't worry, though... proper lens care is simpler than it may seem. With ''multipurpose'' solutions and one-use lenses, taking care of your contacts is cheaper, takes less time and involves less hassle than in the past. However, there are some necessary guidelines to keep in mind.

First of all it is advised to speak to your optician to receive personalized recommendations. Additionally, make sure you don't change your care routine without checking with your eye doctor first. Some solutions can react with each other or with certain kinds of lenses and can harm your eyes. Our experienced staff can help you decide on the correct treatment for your lenses.

Proper lens maintenance necessitates cleaning and disinfecting your lenses daily. Make sure to wash your hands before touching your lenses. This can be among the quickest routes for harmful bacteria to reach your body. Further, avoid the error of using saline solution for cleaning or disinfecting your contacts. This is only suitable for storing purposes, not cleaning. You should also be careful to disinfect your lens case with disinfecting solution frequently and to keep it open and dry between cleanings. Eye Doctors advise that you replace your case at least four times a year.

It's true that there may be an assortment of lens care options, but with a little professional guidance you can be sure you are caring for your lenses properly, ensuring healthier eyes and clearer vision!
