Are you wearing contact lenses? If you are, then you need to take good care of them, in order to enjoy healthy eyes for a long time.
It’s imperative that when you take the lenses off your eyes, you must clean them and put them safely in their respective cases. Today, the market is flooded with contact lens cleaning kits, and not all are expensive. You may try a few before you know which brand works the best for you and your eyes. You would be smart to invest in a kit like Bausch and Lomb Renu. This comes with a protein remover, so you will be saved the hassle of additional cleansing steps before you pack away your lenses for the night.
Most people like to use a contact lens cleanser that’s available in a bottle. You can safely and effectively clean your contacts without much hassle. Some users have to travel frequently, and if you are one of them, you will realize how convenient it is to use a contact lens cleanser.
There are variety of contact lens cleaning solutions available at the local drugstore or on the Internet. You can search the web for discounted prices as well. However, it is best to buy such stuff from a dealer whom you can trust.
Here are a few rules about putting on contact lenses for a better, more comfortable and healthier fit:
Your hands have to be dry, and squeaky clean whenever you are about to touch your contact lenses. It is not a good idea to use moisturizing soaps or scented cosmetics before using your contacts. Apply some hand cream or body lotion only after you are done putting on your lenses. If you keep your lenses clean, they will last you a long period of time. New users of contact lens should ideally keep their finger nails trimmed and clipped so they don’t have to be extra wary of sharp edges.
For soft contact lenses, open your eyes wide before removing them. If there is a tendency to close your eyes before you have touched the lenses, you can use a thumb and a finger to hold your eyes open. Look to the side or at the ceiling, and gently pinch the contact lenses out of your eye. Sometimes, after a long day, your eyes might feel dry. When that happens, use a few drops of re-wetting liquid. Try putting on your lenses again in a few minutes. When you have to remove the lens from the other eye, switch your hands.
Some people find it easier to work with hard lens. Cup your palm and put it underneath your eye and pull the end of your eye. Soon you will see that the lens has fallen on your waiting palm.
Make sure your contacts cases are labeled for each eye. Clean them daily and change the stored disinfectant in the case. There you go, if you keep these things in mind, you should have no problem with your eyes or with putting on contact lenses and maintaining them.
