Contacts????
Question: I lost the papers telling me do's & don'ts and what days and how long im supposed to wear them
Does it depend on the prescription or does everyone start out with a certain amount of time and then build it up?
Answers: Always wash and rinse your hands thoroughly before you handle your lenses.
To avoid getting your lenses mixed up, always apply (or remove) your lenses, one at a time, in the same order.
Never use eye drops or solutions that aren’t specifically for contact lenses.
Don’t use saliva to try and wet or clean your lenses.
Don’t sleep in your lenses (unless you wear lenses that are specifically designed for continuous wear and your eye care professional has prescribed them for that wear schedule).
Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses every time you remove them.
Keep all your solution bottles tightly capped when you’re not using them.
Don’t let the tip of solution bottles touch any surface (including your fingers, eyes or lenses).
Never use expired lens solutions.
Never re-use lens solutions.
Never swap lenses with someone else.
Rinse your lens case every day and let it air-dry.
Replace your lens case every three months (or more frequently).
Don’t let cosmetics like soap, makeup, moisturizers or sunscreen touch your lenses.
Never wear your lenses when you’re going to be around irritating fumes or vapors (paint, hairspray, oven cleaner, etc.)
Don’t swim or go in a hot tub while wearing your lenses.
Its all the same doesnt matter the prescription!
not sure
i wear my contacts everyday and change them monthly.
well with my contacts i have to change them on the 1st and the 15th of every month. you definently should not fall asleep with them (even though i do) and you shouldnt open ur eyes in chlorine or salt water because it can damage them
I'm not exactly positive the hours. I don't think that it will really hurt your eyes if you wear them more than they tell you too. If your eyes start to bug you, or they feel dry I would take them out. Maybe go like seven hours. If you're really worried call your eye doctor, or where ever you got your contacts from and I'm sure that they would be happy to tell you. Best of luck. I hope that you enjoy your contacts, I've had them for years and I love them!
