This week is CONTACT LENS HEALTH WEEK, reminding all to use best contact lens practices.
We recommend:
– Washing hands thoroughly before handling lenses.
– Cleaning and disinfecting lenses daily with fresh solution and replacing the lens cases regularly.
– It’s also crucial to avoid wearing lenses longer than prescribed.
– Don’t use water to clean or store lenses, only the recommended solutions.
– Lastly, attend regular eye exams.
Contact Lens Health Week falls in the third week of August, and this year it’s observed from August 18 to 22. Contact Lens Health Week is a call to action for all those who need assistance. With the creation of contact lenses and because they are so widely used, the need to draw attention to the proper use of and care for contact lenses is essential. The condition of your contact lens directly affects your ability to see, and also help stop further deterioration of your eyesight.
