Health Tip: Develop Healthy Habits for Contact Lenses
By LadyLively on March 30, 2015
Contact lenses can help you see better, but how you handle them can affect your eye health.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests:
- Always wash hands with soap and water and dry them before handling contact lenses.
- Don’t let water get on your contacts. Don’t wear them when showering or swimming.
- Don’t sleep in contacts unless your doctor has advised it. Replace lenses according to your doctor’s recommendations.
- Use only disinfecting solution to clean your lenses every time you remove them.
- Clean your storage case with disinfecting solution and refill with fresh solution (never water) any time you remove your contacts.
