How to Care for Your Lenses

Contact lenses must be properly cleaned and disinfected when you remove them to kill germs and prevent infections. All contact lens cases should be cleaned daily and it is recommended that you replace your case every three months. Never reuse your contact lens solution. Dispose of contact lens solution in the lens case after each use and let the case air dry. Do not put your lens in your mouth and then in your eye. Never use homemade cleaning solutions as they have been linked to serious eye infections. Any eye drops, even nonprescription ones, can interact with all types of contact lenses. Use the prescribed brand of solution or check with your optometrist before changing brands.
