Whether you’re new to contact lenses or have been using them for a while, here are a few tips on wearing and caring for your lenses.
Tip 1: Stick to your replacement schedule
Following your replacement schedule is key to keep your eyes healthy and happy. Contact lenses are designed for specific wearing times. For example, daily disposable lenses, are those that must be discarded after every removal. If you have lenses that last for longer e.g. monthly lenses – make sure you clean, rinse, and disinfect the lenses each time you remove them from your eye and then discard them after a month.
Tip 2: Cleanliness is critical

Tip 3: Follow a strict lens care routine

The saline solution will not disinfect. Lenses may be stored in the unopened case until ready to wear, up to a maximum of 30 days. If you store your lenses for longer periods of time, they must be cleaned and disinfected with a fresh ReNu multi-purpose solution prior to lens insertion.
Tip 4: Care for your Lens Case too
Contact lens cases can be a source of bacteria growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned, rinsed with solutions recommended by the lens case manufacturer, and allowed to air dry each time you remove the contact lenses from it. Lens cases should be replaced at regular intervals too.
Lastly, if you have any adverse reactions – here’s what to do…
If you notice any issue with your contact lenses such as eye stinging, burning, itching, eye pain, or comfort less than when lens was first put in, abnormal feeling of something in the eye, excessive watering, unusual eye secretions, redness, reduced sharpness of vision, blurred vision, rainbows or halos around objects, sensitivity to light or dry eyes you should:
When any of the above problems continue, a serious condition may be present. You should keep the lens off your eye until your eye care professional can identify the problem.
