If you’re new to removing contact lenses and are having trouble taking them out then the important thing is not to panic. Here’s some tips on how to get them out a little easier:
Colour Contact Tips to Remember:
Never sleep in your contacts and always take them out before you go to bed. You could risk getting an eye infection if you leave your colour contacts in overnight or even while you nap.
If you’re worried about putting lenses in then we recommend visiting your optician. They can show you how to put your lenses in and take them out as well as advise about proper care for your colour contact lenses.
If you are storing your contact lenses for more than 7 days, make sure to refresh your multipurpose lens solution. Regularly check your lenses to ensure they remain in usable condition and keep the solution topped up to prevent them from drying out. If your contact lenses do dry out, do not attempt to re-wet them. Ensuring the air tight contact lens lid is properly screwed onto the case will help to keep your contact lenses in good condition and prevent them from drying out. Always inspect the lenses for any signs of damage before re-inserting them. Make sure to put the lenses straight into your contact lens case after you have removed and rinsed them. Never rinse your contact lenses or contact lens equipment in water or with saliva.
As well as replacing your contact lenses after they have expired or reached their full duration of use, you also need to check the expiration of your contact lens solution and replace your contact lens case about every 3 months. Always rinse your contact lens case in lens solution between uses to keep it free from bacteria.
