Healthy Guidelines for Wearing Contact Lenses
Wearing contact lenses isn’t the same as wearing glasses. While you’ll love the newfound freedom
they oer, contact lenses require a little more extra care to help keep your eyes healthy and happy.

Here are some important tips to follow
when wearing contact lenses:
• Read your package insert for
important information.
• Never share your contact lenses
with others.
• Only use eye drops prescribed by your
eye care professional.
• On days when you’re feeling unwell,
or your eyes are red, do not wear your
contact lenses. Wear glasses instead.
• If you rip a contact lens, do not put it on
your eye. Never wear a ripped lens.
• Put on your contact lenses before
applying makeup. Wash with plain soap
and dry your hands with a lint-free
towel. Remove the lenses gently before
removing makeup.
• Avoid drying out your contact lenses.
Should this happen, discard the lenses
and do not use them.
• Do not wear expired contact lenses.
You can find the expiration date on the
carton box as well as the blister pack.
• Do not rub your eyes when wearing
contact lenses to avoid lens decentral-
ization or injuring your cornea.
• Remove your contact lenses before
swimming or using a hot tub.
• Make a follow-up appointment
with your eye care professional every
three months.
• Be careful not to put your contact lens
in the wrong eye as the lens power may
be dierent in each eye.
If you suspect your contact lenses are
causing a problem, remove them quickly
and get in touch with your eye care
professional immediately. Save the lenses
and bring them with you.
