If you decided to buy contact lenses, keep in mind the importance of proper care and storing, since inappropriate storage of the contact lens or lack of disinfection could result in various ophthalmic illnesses.
Below you can find the brief and step-by-step guidelines:
1. Before starting the cleaning and storing your contacts and the case, it is necessary to clean your hands thoroughly using the antimicrobial soap.
2. Fill the lens case with the fresh disinfectant solution.
3. Take out the lens and pour the necessary amount of disinfectant solution for the lenses. Rub the lenses surface using circular motions, then reverse it and repeat the aforementioned steps. Please note that there are specific no-rub solutions which do not require mechanical cleaning while using. At the same time, many ophthalmologists and the American Food and Drug Association recommend cleaning the contact lenses even if you are using the no-rub solution.
4. After cleaning rinse the lens again to remove the debris, using the same solution.
5. Place the lens in the cleaned case, making sure it has entirely submerged in the solution. For complete disinfection store the contact lenses in the solution for 4-8 hours.
6. Repeat the same steps for the other lens. In order to avoid mixing up the lenses try to begin putting on and removing the lenses from the same eye every time, for example start with the right eye.
When you are putting the lenses on, it is as well necessary to rinse them with fresh disinfectant solution. In addition, discard the solution left in the case, clean the case thoroughly, and leave it open so that it could dry completely before the next use. It is recommended to change the lens cases at least once a month.
