Caring for Your Contact Lenses

Taking proper care of your contact lenses is key to having a successful contact lens journey. 
Remember these helpful tips to keep your contact lenses performing at their best.

    CARING FOR
    DAILY DISPOSABLE
    CONTACT LENSES

     

    With daily disposable contact lenses, there’s no need for lens care. Simply put in a fresh pair in the morning and toss them out at night. Then, start the next day with a fresh new pair.

    WHAT TO DO

     

    • Wash and dry your hands before handling, inserting or removing your contacts.
    • Throw your contact lenses in the trash before going to bed.
    • Cosmetics, lotions, soaps, creams and deodorants can irritate your eyes, so use with care.
    • Put your contact lenses in before applying makeup and remove your lenses before taking your makeup off.
    • Follow up with your eye doctor for a yearly exam.
