• Good hygiene is essential for contact lens wearers. Following the proper guidelines for contact lens care will prevent infection and damage to the eye. Wash and rinse your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap and clean water before touching your eyes, especially before inserting or removing your lenses.
• Do not sleep or swim while wearing your lenses. This greatly increases the chances of infection. Do not share your lenses with anyone else.
• Always follow a routine. Start with the same eye for insertion and removal of the lenses. This prevents the spread of infection from one eye to the other.
• After removing the lens, place it in the palm of your hand. Rinse the lens with sterile solution appropriate for the type of lenses your are wearing. Gently rub the lens with your finger. This removes microbes and particulate matter from the lens.
• We recommend Renu multi purpose solution for cleaning and storage. You will also need to purchase a contact lens case to store your lenses.
• Place the lens in the appropriate side of the lens case. Fill the side with fresh solution. Do not use saline solution or tap water. Use a storage solution appropriate for your lens and your eyes. At insertion, wash hands, remove your lens from the case, rinse with clean solution, position the lens on the tip of your index finger, pull your bottom eye lid down with the index finger of the other hand. Look up and position lens on the white of the eye, look down and lens will rotate onto your pupil. To remove, slide lens down on the white of the eye and gently pinch lens out.
• Dispose of the used solution in case. Never reuse the solution. Rinse the case out with tap water, and shake the case until it is dry or allow it to air dry. You may also us a tissue. Leave the case dry when not storing the lenses. Change your contact lens case every month.
• If you develop soreness or redness in one of both eyes, immediately remove your lenses and contact your eye care professional.
• Theatrical lenses are made for occasional wear and will last over one year if given proper care. Cosmetic color contacts are made for everyday wear, but not recommended for sleeping.
• Keep this instruction sheet and the instruction sheet inside your care kit for future reference.
• You must be over 18 to buy contact lenses.
• Although these medium base curve lenses will fit almost everyone, we also require that you see a eye care professional for fitting and training.
