Dos and Don'ts for Contact Lens Care

DO

• Wash your hands with a mild soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before touching your contacts.
• Insert or remove your contacts in the same order (left then right or vice versa) to avoid getting your lenses mixed up.
• Clean, rinse, and disinfect your contact lenses following your eye care provider's instructions each time you remove them.
• Keep all solution bottles closed when not in use.
• Clean your contact lens case daily.
• Replace your contact lens case every three months.
• Remove contacts before you go swimming.

DON'T

• Allow soaps, cosmetics, or other substances to come into contact with your lenses.
• Touch the tip of a contact lens care solution bottle to any surface, including your finger or your contact lens.
• Reuse - or add additional solution to - old contact lens care solution in the case.
• Wear contacts for longer than the prescribed time.
• Use solution after the expiration date marked on the bottle.
