Seven rules to contact users
- Do not sleep with lenses on. Continuously worn contacts rub away the cornea, causing tiny rips that invite infection and may lead to vision loss.
- Never use homemade saline solutions. They might harbor a microorganism that can scar the cornea and cause partial or complete blindness.
- Never wear two pair of lenses simultaneously. Never wear cosmetic lenses over your corrective lenses – they may get stuck!
- Clean and disinfect lenses when you remove them. If they are disposable, throw them away within the time prescribed.
- Stick with one lens-care regimen. Follow the routine specified for your lens type.
- Remove lenses before swimming/bathing. Hard lenses may float out when your eyes get wet; soft lenses are likely to absorb impurities in the water.
- Get glasses before cleaning up. Make the switch whenever using household cleaners containing ammonia or other volatile chemicals.
