  2. While contact lenses are safely used by millions of people every day, they do carry a risk of eye infection. Factors contributing to infection can include: • Use of extended-wear lenses; • Reduced tear exchange under the lens; • Environmental factors; • Poor hygiene. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  3. Taking Care of Your Lenses Risk of infection varies somewhat depending on the type of contact lens. Single-use daily disposable lenses are the safest type of soft contact lens, in terms of reducing the risk of infection. Here mentioned are the few tips to take care of your contact lenses. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  4. Tip #1: • Before handling contact lenses, wash your hands with soap and water, then rinse and dry them with a lint-free towel. • Minimise contact with water, including removing lenses before going swimming or in a hot tub. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  5. Tip #2: • Do not put your lenses in your mouth to wet them. Saliva is not a sterile solution. • Do not use saline solution and rewetting drops to disinfect lenses. Neither is an effective or approved disinfectant. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  6. Tip #3: • Wear and replace contact lenses according to the schedule prescribed by your eye care professional. • Follow the specific contact lens cleaning and storage guidelines from your eye care professional and the solution manufacturer. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  7. Tip #4: • Rinse the contact lens case with fresh solution — not water. Then leave the empty case open to air dry. • Keep the contact lens case clean and replace it regularly, at least every three months. Lens cases can be a source of contamination and infection. Do not use cracked or damaged lens cases. www.lensesonline.co.nz

  8. Don’t Do Things: • Do not re-use old solution or "top off" the solution in your lens case. • Do not transfer contact lens solution into smaller travel-size containers. This can affect the sterility of the solution, which can lead to an eye infection. www.lensesonline.co.nz
