• Clean and Disinfect Carefully
  Ask your doctor which cleaning solutions are best for your lenses. Use ONLY the solution when rinsing, cleaning, or soaking the contact lenses. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and use a lint-free towel to dry them.
• Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions Faithfully
  Get regular visual ophthalmology services from your eye doctor. Keeping up with your checkup schedule helps reassess the lenses’ safety and determine your cornea’s potential shape changes. Do not add water to your eyes (swim, soak in the tub, shower, etc.) ? contact lenses and water do not mix.
• Clean the Contact Case
  Unless it’s damaged, replace the contact care every three months. Clean the case using the same disinfecting solution and leave it open to air dry.
