Maintaining and Cleaning of Contact Lenses
Wearing colour cosmetics contact lenses has become a norm to enhance the look nowadays. We can see that people in the entertainment industries such as the idols and the actors are often spotted with the use of colour cosmetics contact lenses.
So, here comes the issue. Do you really know how to clean or maintain your eyes and contact lenses? Well I myself searched up the internet and found out that there were actually cases where the eyesight were damaged due to improper cleaning and maintenance of the contact lens. Therefore, I am writing this post today to just remind and also inform you the right way to store and also clean your contact lenses...not only for hygiene purposes but also to maintain the eyesight.
Dos:
1. Wash
your hands with soap (antibacterial if possible) and water BEFORE
touching your contact lenses.
2. Use
fresh contact lens cleaning solution every time.
3. Rub
your contact lenses with your fingers while cleaning (even with “no-rub”
contact cleaning solutions), then rinse with fresh cleaning solution.
4. Rinse
your contact lens case with fresh solution, and leave it OVERTUNRNED and
OPEN to dry.
5. Always
keep your solution bottle capped.
6. Follow
the instructions on the contact lens cleaning solution, contact lens and also
storing solution.
7. Replace
contact lens case every three months.
8. Always
soak your new contact lens overnight before wearing.
9. Check
the life span and expiry date of contact lenses before you wear.
10. Discard dry out contact lenses!
Don’ts:
1. Do
not use saline solution, sterile water, saliva, tap water or rewetting drops to
clean your lens (None of these serve to disinfect and clean your lens).
2. Don’t
let your fingernails get in contact with the lenses. (Nails may scratch the
lens and hide germs and dirt)
3. Do
not reuse the cleaning and storing solution.
4. Do
not clean your lens case with tap water (might contain impurities and
microorganisms).
5. Avoid wearing contact lenses when you are battling with flu.
