Using contact lenses involves some important steps to protect eye health and maximize the benefits of the lenses. Here are the basics of contact lens use:
Hold the lenses with your fingertips or use a lens applicator. Do not touch the lenses directly with your nails.
If you experience discomfort, redness, or itching in your eye while using lenses, immediately consult your eye doctor.
These general guidelines can contribute to healthy and safe contact lens use. However, since everyone’s eye structure is different, follow your eye doctor’s recommendations for special situations and needs.
