Contact Lens Basics
Contact lenses are medical devices. An eye care professional determines whether lenses are appropriate, prescribes them, and checks that they fit your eyes. Follow the wearing schedule and care instructions for your specific lenses.
Everyday habits for safer wear
- Wash your hands with soap and water, then dry them completely before handling lenses.
- Do not sleep in contact lenses unless your eye care professional specifically tells you to.
- Keep lenses away from water: remove them before showering or swimming, and never rinse or store them in tap water or saliva.
- Use the contact lens solution recommended for your lenses. Do not reuse or “top off” old solution; follow product directions for cleaning and storage.
- Replace lenses and the lens case on the schedule recommended by your eye care professional and the product instructions. Keep backup glasses available.
