Always
wash your hands before handling your lenses. Lotions, ointments
or other substances on your hands can contaminate your lenses.
Good hygiene helps to eliminate germs which can cause eye
infections.
Close
your eyes to protect your contact lenses from hairspray and
other airborne sprays.
Wear,
clean and store your lenses according to your contact lens
technician's instructions. Remove your lenses immediately
if they become uncomfortable. Discomfort can be an early warning
sign of a problem. Contact Iowa Eye Center to avoid any complications.
Make
your yearly examination appointments to assure that you
have the best possible prescription and healthy eyes to allow
for continued successful contact lens wearing.
Replace
your lenses with a new pair as often as recommended. Old lenses
can cause discomfort, decreased vision and may adversely affect
your eye health.
