Care for a Sticking (Nonmoving) Lens
If the lens sticks (stops moving) or cannot be removed, you should apply 2 drops of the recommended lubricating or rewetting solution directly to the eye and wait
until the lens begins to move freely on the eye before removing it. If nonmovement of the lens continues after 30 minutes, you should IMMEDIATELY consult your
eye care practitioner or attend hospital emergency room physician.
EMERGENCIES
If chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory chemicals, etc.) are splashed into your eyes, you should:
• FLUSH YOUR EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER
• REMOVE YOUR LENSES
• IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR EYE CARE PRACTITIONER OR VISIT A HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY
WEARING SCHEDULE
Typically, your practitioner will start your overnight wear the first night, or your practitioner may initiate your lens wear on a daytime schedule. If your practitioner
places you on an overnight wear schedule, you should place the lens in your eye 15 to 20 minutes before going to sleep. A well fit lens provides for centration with
the closed eye. The effects of lid interaction on blinking and gravity may result in lens decentration during open eye wear.
Be aware, “when in doubt, take it out”. It is important that the new wearer not sleep in a lens that has a significant foreign body sensation. In the event of foreign
body sensation, remove the lens, clean and re-wet it; and, again place the lens in your eye. If the sensation continues, remove the lens. The lens should not be worn.
Your practitioner will schedule a follow-up evaluation the morning after the first overnight wear. The visit is best scheduled within a few hours of awakening and
you should report with your lenses in place. This visit provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate lens centration and potential lens adherence.
Assuming the absence of clinical signs and complications, you will be instructed to continue overnight wear of the lenses until the next scheduled follow-up visit.
The cornea normally changes within five to eight hours of wear. Your practitioner should modulate your wearing time to determine the MINIMUM wear required
for myopic reduction. The average wearing time is between 8 and 10 hours. Attempt to maintain wearing time at this minimum level.

prescribed schedule. Failure to do so can affect daily activities (e.g., night driving), visual fluctuations and changes in intended
correction.
