Remember that contact lenses are an extra layer on your eye, that delays oxygen to your eye, and as they age they gain proteins and deposits that can be attractive to bacteria.
The goal is to kill the bacteria and get rid of the deposits in the easiest manner, while keeping the care system simple enough that it is done by everyone. This is the new challenge, in a world where contact lenses are often thought of as a cosmetic choice rather than a medical choice. It’s comforting to know that by taking a few simple precautions as follow we can control our eye health and minimize risk:
1. Follow you eye care professional’s advise, and wash your hands before handling your contact lenses.
2. Occasionally replace your contact lens case.
3. Do not substitute saline or water for contact lens solution. Its been suggested that you do not take a shower with your contact lenses in, due to water borne microbes that can enter the eyes and be trapped between the cornea and the contact lens.
4. Do not “top off” your contact lens solutions in your case, bout replace it with fresh solution each time.
5. Clean the lenses before soaking them in the overnight case.
