Friendly reminder from your friends at Peak: Your “monthly” contacts aren’t good for 30 days of wear, they’re good for 30 days from the moment you open the pack. ❗️
Once that seal is broken, the clock starts ticking. Even if you only wear them a few times a month, protein and bacteria build up over time, raising your risk of eye infections and corneal ulcers. The same goes for daily lenses: they’re designed for one use. Storing and reusing them raises your infection risk and can lead to tears that scratch the cornea.
Only wear contacts a few days a month? Ask us about switching to dailies. You open a fresh pair only when you need one, so it can actually save you money compared to monthlies you end up tossing. Plus, many patients find them more comfortable and they’re a healthier option long term. We also carry daily lenses with blue-light filtering if you spend long days at a screen.
A few more habits to keep your eyes healthy:
- Wash and fully dry your hands before handling your lenses.
- Keep lenses away from tap water. Always use sterile solution.
- Don’t sleep in your contacts unless your doctor has prescribed lenses approved for overnight wear.
- Replace your lens case every time you get a new bottle of contact lens solution or every 3 months, whichever comes first. If you need a new case, just swing by and we will give you one for free!
When in doubt, throw them out! Questions about your contact lens schedule? Ask us at your next exam or give us a call. 🍂👓
