Halloween Contact Lenses - How To Protect Your Eyes

In order to prevent infections, conjunctivitis (I had to look this one up - it is also known as "pink eye") and allegies, you must use and clean your contact lenses properly.

1.  Always clean your hands before touching your lenses.  That means soap and water.

2. Your lenses should always be stored in fresh solution.  Discard the old solution and rinse your case when you put the lenses in your eyes.

3. DO NOT make your own solutions.  Only use the recommended products and solutions

4. If your lenses are NOT for "extended-wear", never sleep with your lenses in your eyes.

5. If your lenses are "disposable", only use the lenses for the prescribed period of time and dispose of the old ones.

6. If you are going to be applying make-up, do it AFTER you have inserted the lenses.  This will help prevent the lenses from getting in contact with the makeup.

7. MOST IMPORTANT: If you eyes start watering, are painful, are red, or if you have any discomfort at all, REMOVE the lenses immediately!
