f

material,

Therefore,

 

please

 

read

 

on.

 

Cleanliness

 

is

 

an

 

important

 

aspect

 

of

 

contact

 

lens

 

care.

 

Before

 

handling

 

your

 

lenses,

 

always

 

wash

 

and

 

rinse

 

your

 

hands

 

thoroughly

 

and

 

dry

 

them

 

with

 

a

 

lint

free

 

towel.

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

soaps,

 

lotions,

 

cold

 

creams

 

and

 

perfumes

 

which

 

leave

 

a

 

residue

 

on

 

your

 

hands.

 

Avoid

 

using

 

medications,

 

creams,

 

deodorants,

 

make

up,

 

after

shave

 

lotions,

 

or

 

similar

 

items

 

prior

 

to

 

touching

 

your

 

lenses.

 

When

 

hair

 

spray

 

is

 

used,

 

the

 

eyes

 

must

 

be

 

kept

 

closed

 

until

 

the

 

spray

 

has

 

settled.

 

Take

 

care

 

in

 

handling

 

your

 

lenses.

 

Always

 

avoid

 

touching

 

your

 

lenses

 

with

 

your

 

fingernails

 

or

 

other

 

sharp

 

objects.

 

Soft

 

contact

 

lenses,

 

including

 

Coopervision,

 

Inc.

 

contact

 

lenses,

 

are

 

made

 

of

 

a

 

type

 

of

 

plastic

 

that

 

absorbs

 

liquids

 

and

 

vapors.

 

As

 

such,

 

they

 

may

 

collect

 

both

 

extraneous

 

and

 

naturally

 

occurring

 

deposits.

 

Therefore,

 

if

 

the

 

lens

 

needs

 

to

 

be

 

removed

 

before

 

the

 

prescribed

 

wearing

 

time

 

has

 

elapsed,

 

you

 

must

well

 

as

 

the

 

written

 

instructions

 

on

recommended

 

care

 

products.

 

Damaged

 

lenses

 

can

 

lead

 

to

 

serious

 

eye

 

infections

 

and

 

discomfort.

 

If

 

any

 

problems

 

do

 

occur,

 

remove

 

your

 

lenses

 

and

 

visit

 

your

 

eye

 

care

 

practitioner.

 

Your

 

lenses

 

were

 

designed

 

to

 

provide

 

comfortable

 

vision.

 

Proper

 

care

 

and
