October is Contact Lens Safety Month
As eye care professionals, we know that successful contact lens wear is about more than just clear vision—it’s about healthy eyes and safe habits.
This is Contact Lens Safety Month, good habits & essentials that need to be reinforced with my patients:
🧼 Wash and dry hands before handling lenses.
💧 Use the recommended contact lens solution—never tap water or saliva.
🔄 Follow the prescribed replacement schedule and don’t stretch lens wear beyond recommended limits.
😴 Avoid sleeping in lenses unless specifically prescribed for overnight wear.
🚿 Keep lenses away from water, including swimming and showering.
📅 Attend regular eye examinations so lens fit, ocular health, and wearing habits can be assessed.
🚨 Don’t ignore discomfort, redness, pain, or changes in vision—remove lenses and seek professional advice when symptoms occur.
This will help keep contact lens wear safe and comfortable.
