Wearing Restrictions:
•
Always keep a pair or replacement lenses with you when you wear your lenses, in case you
have to remove the lenses immediately upon the appearance of a problem or symptom.
•
Always keep your recommended lens care products with you to have available if and when
you have to clean and disinfect your lenses.
•
Do not use aerosol products, such as hair spray, while wearing your lenses. The lenses may
absorb the spray, resulting in injury to the eye and damage to the lens.
•
Avoid wearing the lenses around fumes, irritation vapors, or smoky or dusty conditions. The
lenses may absorb the chemicals or particles, resulting in injury to the eye.
•
Void rubbing your eyes with the lenses in, which can irritate the eye or dislodge the lens.
•
Keep your eyes closed tightly when washing or showering to keep water and soaps out of the
eyes, which can cause loss of the lenses, contamination or injury to the eye.
•
Do not wear your lenses while in a hot tub or steam room or while swimming.
•
If you get something in your eye, remove the lens immediately and dispose of the lens. Do
not replace the lens with a replacement lens until your eye feels normal.
•
Tell your employer that you wear contact lenses. Some jobs may require use of eye
protection equipment or that you not wear contact lenses.
•
Tell your regular physician and every other doctor that you visit that you wear contact lenses
and the type of lenses that you wear. If you are admitted to a hospital, also tell your nurses
that you wear contact lenses.
•
Do not use any eye drops, ointments or medicines in your eye unless they are specifically
approved by your eye care practitioner or physician. Some drops, ointments or medicines
will cause injury to the eye if used by a contact lens wearer.
On Check-Up Visits to Your Eye Care Practitioner:
•
When you return for check-up visits, be sure to tell your eye care practitioner if your eyes
have felt dry, irritated or anything other than completely comfortable while wearing your
contact lenses.
•
If there is any question in your mind about your wearing schedule and restrictions, lens
handling procedures, lens replacement program, the condition of your lenses, your follow-up
visit schedule, cleaning and disinfection procedures or anything else about contact lens wear,
be sure to discuss the subject with your eye care practitioner, who is there to help you use
your contact lenses safely and properly.
•
If your eye care practitioner puts dye or drops in your eye during the examination, ask when
you may insert your cleaned and disinfected lenses. The use of most dyes or drops will
require a waiting period before lenses may be reinserted.
The procedures in this booklet are recommended for the care of ocufilcon D UV asphere Soft

with instructions and warnings for its use, which must be read and followed.
