Wear, Care and Safety

We highly recommend you see an eye care professional if you have any issues or hesitation wearing lenses.

We highly recommend you store your lenses in a lens case and solution. Grab a Contact Lens Care Pack.

Do's and don'ts

Do's

  • Wash hands before handling lenses. Poor hygiene can cause infections to the eyes.
  • Always follow the instructions about when and for how long you can wear lenses. If you wear them too long, this can damage your eyes.
  • Check lenses for damage or contamination before putting them in. A damaged lens can cause discomfort and may harm eyes.
  • Use appropriate lens solution to remove protein, dirt and debris from lenses.
  • For more comfort when wearing and cleaning lenses, the rubbing method is recommended.
  • If lenses become uncomfortable, remove them and get advice from an eye-care practitioner. If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your eye-care practitioner.
  • Make regular aftercare visits to your eye-care practitioner. Not all problems cause immediate discomfort or vision problems.

Don'ts

  • Do not share lenses with others, as sharing lenses can cause infections.
  • Do not sleep with contact lenses in.
  • Do not wear daily disposable lenses more than once.
  • Do not wear lenses if you are suffering from red or sore eyes.
  • Don't use tap water or used solution on lenses. These liquids are not sterile and harbour organisms that can cause serious infections.
  • Don't use a lens from damaged packaging, as there is a risk of dirt which could be harmful to the eyes.
  • Avoid using lenses in a smoky, dusty environment or areas with chemical fumes, as it could cause irritation to the eyes.
  • Do not wear contact lenses longer than the recommended duration.
  • Do not use lenses while swimming or soaking in a tub.
  • Do not wear contact lenses if you are not feeling well (e.g. flu, fever, feeling ill).
