CARE FOR A STICKING (NON-MOVING) LENS
If the lens sticks (stops moving) on the eye, apply 2-3 drops of the recommended sterile lubrication or rewetting
solution. Wait until the lens begins to move freely on your eye before removing it. If non-movement of the lens
continues, immediately consult your eye care practitioner.
CHEMICAL (NOT HEAT) DISINFECTION
•
Clean your contact lenses with a recommended cleaning solution and thoroughly rinse them with a
recommended rinsing solution.
•
After cleaning, to disinfect, carefully follow the instructions accompanying the disinfection solution in the
care regimen recommended by the lens manufacturer or your eye care practitioner.
•
When using hydrogen peroxide lens care systems, the lenses must be neutralized before wearing. Follow
the recommendations on the hydrogen peroxide system labeling.
•
Thoroughly rinse your lenses with a fresh solution recommended for rinsing before inserting or wearing, or
follow the instructions on the disinfection solution labeling.
•
Do not heat disinfect your lenses. Repeated heat disinfection will cause irreversible damage to
your lenses.
•
Leave the lenses in the unopened storage case until ready to put on your eyes.
•
Caution: Lenses that are chemically disinfected may absorb ingredients from the disinfecting solution
which may be irritation to the eyes. A thorough rinse in fresh sterile saline solution prior to placement on
the eye should reduce the potential for irritation.
LENS DEPOSITS AND USE OF ENZYMATIC CLEANING PROCEDURE
Enzyme cleaning may be recommended by your eye care practitioner. Enzyme cleaning removes protein deposits
on the lens. These deposits cannot be removed with regular cleaners. Removing protein deposits is important for
the well-being of your lenses and eyes. If these deposits are not removed, they can damage the lenses and cause
irritation.
Enzyme cleaning DOES NOT replace routine cleaning and disinfecting. for enzyme cleaning, you should carefully
follow the instructions in the enzymatic cleaning labeling.
LENS CASE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Contact lens cases can be a source of bacteria growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned, rinsed with
solutions recommended by the lens case manufacturer and allowed to air dry. The lens cases should be replaced
at regular intervals as recommended by the lens case manufacturer or by the eye care practitioner.
