𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 — a reminder to protect your sight by handling, wearing, and caring for contacts the right way. Follow these essential tips to avoid irritation, infection, or permanent damage:

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁
- Wash hands with soap and water and dry with a lint-free towel before touching lenses.
- Use only the disinfecting solution prescribed for your lenses; never use water, saliva, or homemade mixes.
- Rub and rinse reusable lenses as directed, then store in fresh solution; replace the case every 3 months.
- Follow the wear schedule your eye care professional prescribes — don’t “stretch” daily or planned-replacement lenses.
- Never sleep in lenses unless specifically approved by your eye doctor.
- Remove lenses immediately and seek care for persistent redness, pain, sensitivity to light, sudden vision changes, or discharge.
- Avoid swimming, hot tubs, or showering while wearing contacts; water increases infection risk.
- Keep cosmetics, sprays, and creams away from lenses; insert lenses before applying makeup and remove before taking it off.
- Attend regular eye exams — lenses and eyes should be evaluated periodically for fit and health.
- Know proper lens disposal and replacement timelines; tossing old lenses on schedule prevents complications.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: contact lenses improve life when used safely. If you experience any discomfort or visual change, contact your eye care professional right away.
