Contact Lens Safety and Usage Guidelines
At Fantastic Glasses, your eye health and safety are our top priorities. Wearing contact lenses can be a convenient and effective way to correct your vision, but proper care and usage are essential. Please review the following guidelines carefully and always adhere to the advice provided by our opticians.
General Guidelines
- Follow Your Prescription
Always use contact lenses prescribed specifically for you. Ensure your prescription is current (not older than one year). If your lenses feel uncomfortable or your vision changes, contact us immediately. - Wash Your Hands
Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them with a lint-free towel before handling your contact lenses. - Replace Your Lenses as Directed
Use lenses for the prescribed duration only. Whether they are daily, bi-weekly, or monthly lenses, never extend usage beyond the recommended time. - Clean and Store Properly
Use only the lens solution recommended by your optician. Never use tap water or saliva to clean or store your lenses. Replace the lens case every three months to avoid contamination.
Wearing Your Contact Lenses
- Avoid Sleeping in Your Lenses
Unless specifically advised otherwise by your optician, do not sleep in your contact lenses, as this increases the risk of eye infections. - Limit Water Exposure
Avoid wearing your lenses while swimming, showering, or using hot tubs. Water can introduce harmful bacteria and irritants to your lenses. - Monitor for Discomfort
If you experience redness, pain, irritation, or blurry vision, remove your lenses immediately and contact us for an assessment.
Hygiene and Maintenance
- Avoid Sharing
Never share your contact lenses or solution with anyone else. Contact lenses are personalized medical devices and should only be used by the prescribed wearer. - Check Expiration Dates
Always check the expiration date on your lenses and lens solution. Do not use expired products. - Regular Eye Tests
Schedule regular eye test with Fantastic Glasses to ensure your eyes are healthy and your prescription is up to date.
