Personal Cleanliness for Lens Handling
1. Preparing the Lens for Wearing:
It is essential that you learn and use good hygienic methods in the care and handling of
your new lenses. Cleanliness is the first and most important aspect of proper contact
lens care. In particular, your hands should be clean and free of any foreign substances
when you handle your lenses. The procedures are:
• Always wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap, rinse completely, and dry with a
lint-free towel before touching your lenses.
• Avoid the use of soaps containing cold cream, lotion, or oily cosmetics before handling
your lenses, since these substances may come into contact with the lenses and interfere
with successful wearing.
• Handle your lenses with your fingertips, and be careful to avoid contact with fingernails.
It is helpful to keep your fingernails short and smooth.
• Start off correctly by getting into the habit of always using proper hygienic
procedures so that they become automatic.
