October is Contact Lens Safety Month.
Taking care of your contact lenses is an important part of taking care of your eyes! This month, we’re sharing a few simple reminders to help keep your eyes healthy, comfortable, and safe while wearing contacts.
- Wash your hands: Always wash and thoroughly dry your hands before handling your contact lenses.
- Avoid water exposure: Never rinse or store your contacts in tap water, and avoid swimming or showering while wearing your lenses.
- Use fresh solution: Never reuse or “top off” old contact lens solution. Always use fresh, eye-doctor-recommended solution.
- Don’t sleep in your lenses: Avoid sleeping in your contacts unless your eye doctor has specifically prescribed them for overnight wear.
- Take care of your case: Clean your contact lens case with fresh solution, leave it open to air dry, and replace it at least every three months.
Small habits can make a big difference in keeping your eyes healthy! If you have questions about your contact lenses or proper lens care, don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we're here for you.
