1. Wash your hands before you touch your lenses.
2. Opt for lenses made of silicone hydrogel as this prevents eye dryness.
3. Don't wear contact lenses for too long.
4. Don't go for a swim with them.
5. Avoid sleeping with your lenses.
6. Never use saliva to wet your contact lenses.
7. Contact lens case must be kept sterile and changed every 3 months.
8. The casing and cleaning solution should not be kept in a wet or damp environment.
9. When cleaning your lenses, remember to rub the surface to remove any protein build up.
10. Long finger nails can cause breakages or scratches on lenses.
11. Wearers must protect their eyes from the sun.
12. Avoid wearing lenses when there's an outbreak of seasonal eye infection such as conjunctivitis.
13. Never use someone else's used lens solution to keep your own lenses.
14. Don't put on any hand lotions before you put on your lenses.

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the safety points that we have to consider when using the Contact Lenses.
ReplyDeleteHi there! You have such a very informative and interesting page! I'll be looking forward to visit this page again and for your other posts as well. Keep it up! Thank you so much for sharing us some information about this one. Well, in addition, Disadvantages of silicone hydrogels are that they are slightly stiffer and the lens surface can be hydrophobic and less "wettable." These factors can influence the comfort of the lens. New manufacturing techniques and changes to multipurpose solutions have minimized these effects. A surface modification processes called plasma coating alters the hydrophobic nature of the lens surface. Another technique incorporates internal rewetting agents to make the lens surface hydrophilic. A third process uses longer backbone polymer chains that results in less cross linking and increased wetting without surface alterations or additive agents. Aphakia: the absence of the natural crystalline lens due to surgery, trauma, disease, or genetic anomaly.
