Contact Lens Instructions
Warning: Even though all contact lenses are shipped factory sealed and sterile, if you fail to use good hygiene or the recommended solutions correctly, you may cause an eye infection. Also, do not open the contact lens vials unless you have the proper solutions (see #2 below) and a contact lens storage case. Never share your contact lenses with others or use their contact lenses. We also recommend the following:
1. Dirty and/or dry contact lenses from not enough blinking causes most wearing problems. Blink more and clean the contact lenses each time they are removed from your eyes or once a week at least. Soft contact lenses are very delicate and tear easily. Handle the contact lenses very carefully. Wearing contact lenses that are damaged or worn out and need to be replaced is another common cause of problems.
2. You should always wash your hands before touching the contact lenses, and be sure the contact lenses are clean as well.
3. If one eye starts to bother you more than the other, place the right contact lens on the left eye and the left contact lens on the right eye, for a few minutes, to determine if your contact lens is bad, or if your eye is getting irritated from over-wearing the contact lenses. If, during the switch, the same eye continues to bother you, you probably are over-wearing the contact lenses and need to give your eyes a rest. If the opposite eye starts to bother you, something is wrong with that contact lens.
4. Always check to be sure the contact lens is not inside out. Also try cleaning the contact lens. If cleaning doesn't help, the contact lens will probably need to be replaced and returned to the correct eye.
5. Clean, rinse, disinfect and soak your contact lenses with either Bausch & Lomb's "RENU" solution or Alcon's "OPTIFREE Express" solution, to maintain sterility when not wearing the contact lenses. These solutions can be purchased in any drug store.
6. Only wear the contact lenses if your eyes are not red or bloodshot, your eyes are not sore or hurt, you do not have any discharge, and the contact lenses do not blur your vision.. You will need to seek professional care immediately if you stop wearing the contact lenses and your eyes do not quickly improve. You could be getting an eye infection, and you may need appropriate treatment from your doctor.
7. Remember to put the contact lenses on after using hair spray and before applying your eye make-up. Do not wear contact lenses while swimming because you could loose the contact lenses if they should float off your eyes and into the water.
8. If you should notice a slight blur to your side vision when you first start to wear colored contact lenses, this is normal and is caused by the color in the contact lens. You should adjust to this quick
