In reality, caring for contact lenses is not as tough as it seems. For proper lens care, disposable contact lenses and one-bottle care systems can be used. This ensures saving of time, money and effort.
To begin with, you must consult your eye doctor for the correct soft contact lenses care regimen. Certain contact lenses are compatible with specific products only and any other products may ruin the lenses or harm your eyes. The following guidelines for handling soft contact lenses can help in preventing eye infections and ensure maximum comfort for you.
- If you are using soft contact lenses, wash your hands to keep away from dirt and germs. Moreover, moisturizing soaps need to be avoided while applying contact lenses. It is also important to wash your hands properly and dry them with lint-free towel.
- Take out one lens and use the recommended solution to clean it. This will remove cosmetics, eye-produced buildup and other particles that affect the comfort level of the lenses. Now, rub the lens in the palm of your hand with the solution.
- Read the package instructions to know how long it takes to rinse the lens and remove the debris impairing your soft contact lenses.
- The next step is to put the lenses in clean lens holder and add fresh solution to it. The disinfecting process is important for killing micro-organisms on the lens.
- The above steps have to be conducted for both lenses in accordance with the specifications on your solution package.
In certain cases, your eye doctor may recommend using protein removal products to handle eye-protein deposits. By replacing your contact lenses within a reasonable time period, you can avoid build-up of excessive protein and discomfort in your eyes. Products for removing protein are available in liquid form and enzymatic cleaner.
Eye drops can also be used during soft contact lenses care. This avoids eye dryness and irritation by lubricating the eyes and rewetting your contact lenses. Some people may also suffer from allergies caused by chemicals in contact lens solutions. At such times, you can just shift to “preservative free” products for soft contact lenses.
