What Actually is Contact Lens Care? The process by which the product is maintained and kept functional is called maintenance, or as in our context here, care. The steps you need to cover the minimum and most basic contact lens care is outlined below: * Be sure you understand the instructions list and do exactly as you are told. Any deviation from the instruction, however small it may look to you, may be extremely harmful to you and your eyes in the long run.
* Always touch your lenses only after you washed your hands with soap. Be careful while changing or using them, that the lenses are not exposed to anything that is dirty.
* Always use a good brand of cleaning solution; do not just go for anything that the shop keeper offers you, or whatever it is available in the shop. Identify a brand that is good, and then stick to it.
* Never put your lenses in the mouth; this can capture sufficient bacteria to damage your eyes forever.
* If you wear makeup, put your lenses on last; sometimes particles from makeup will get into the eye. It’s best to put them on last.
* Check with your doctor at least once in 6-12 months to ensure that your eye sight and the use of the eye-lens have not changed.
* Follow all the cleaning procedures mentioned in the instructions to the T; any negligence here may introduce a number of infections to your eyes which can not only be very painful, but also very dangerous.
* In case you use eyes drops, have a time gap of about 30 minutes before replacing your lenses in your eyes; otherwise the contacts may absorb some of the eye drops which are not good for you or for the lenses.
* Be careful what brand you are using and what is recommended for your lens. Many times, people ignore the instructions using whatever solutions they can lies their hands on, only to find that they have actually damaged not only their lenses but also their eyes by it.
