Contacts give you freedom - to run errands around Iowa City, catch a workout, or head into a big meeting without giving your glasses a second thought. But that freedom comes with responsibility. Healthy habits are what keep your eyes comfortable, clear, and infection-free for years to come.
This week, we're reminding our Iowa City community of a few simple but essential rules:
✅ Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before touching your lenses
✅ Never sleep in daily-wear contacts
✅ Replace lenses and lens cases on schedule - even if they "still feel fine"
✅ Keep water away from your contacts (no swimming, showering, or rinsing with tap water)
✅ Don't skip your annual eye exam, even if your vision feels unchanged
It's easy to treat contacts as routine, but your eyes deserve the same care and attention you'd give any part of your health.
If it's been a while since your last check-up, there's no better time than Contact Lens Health Week to schedule one. Our team is here to help you see - and feel - your best.
