Contact Lens Care Essential to Eye Health

One-third of contact wearers over the age of 18 don't remember ever being given care information for their eyes and contacts. Nearly 20% remember only very minimal information. Yet, the majority of care providers say they give the needed instructions on a regular basis.
What are the important care tips everyone needs to know?
- Always wash and dry hands before handling contact lenses
- For reusable lenses, always wash and store as dictated by doctor or provider
- Store lenses in the proper case, wash case between uses and allow to dry
- Use only products to clean and store lenses that are recommended for that purpose
- Maintain regular appointments
