Understanding Contact Lens Safety and Usage

Introduction
Dr. Tulika Chan, a corneal refractive surgeon at Centre For Sight, shares essential information on how to use contact lenses safely and the precautions to follow.

Dos for Contact Lens Care

Wash Hands First: Always wash your hands with a perfume-free soap before touching your contact lenses. Dry your hands with a lint-free towel to avoid fibers coming into contact with the lens.
Store Properly: Store contact lenses in fresh solution and make sure to replace the old solution before adding new solution. Never top off the old solution.
Use Fingertips: When handling lenses, always use your fingertips, not your nails or the back of your nails, to avoid damage or contamination.
Comfort Check: After inserting the lens, ensure that you feel comfortable and there is no foreign body sensation.
Follow Prescribed Wear Time: Adhere to the recommended wear time for your contact lenses (e.g., 8 hours). Do not wear them longer than prescribed to avoid complications.
Timely Disposal: Follow the recommended disposal time for your contact lenses. For monthly lenses, dispose of them after 30 days.
Remove Immediately if Uncomfortable: If you experience redness, itching, watering, or discharge, immediately remove the contact lens and consult your eye doctor.
Don'ts for Contact Lens Use

Do Not Share Lenses: Never share your contact lenses, even if your prescription is the same as someone else’s. Sharing lenses can spread infections.
Avoid Sleeping with Lenses On: Never sleep with your contact lenses in, as this can cause serious damage and infections to your eyes.
Do Not Buy Without a Prescription: Never buy contact lenses from optical shops without a prescription. They must be fitted according to your eye size and shape, as not all lenses are the same.
Avoid Using Old Lenses: If your contact lenses have expired, discard them on time and replace them with a new pair. Extending wear beyond the prescribed period can lead to eye issues.
Proper Cleaning and Handling
It’s crucial to clean your contact lenses properly to avoid infections. Always follow the cleaning instructions provided by your eye care professional. Contact lens trials and practice with a registered practitioner are also recommended to ensure you know how to use and clean your lenses correctly.

Conclusion
By following these simple dos and don’ts, you can ensure that your contact lens use is safe and comfortable. Always consult an ophthalmologist before using contact lenses to ensure they are suitable for your eyes.
