How do I look after my eye health with contact lenses?

Quick guide: essential contact lens care

Daily hygiene: key steps
To keep your eyes healthy and your lenses comfortable, daily cleaning to remove deposits is non-negotiable.

1. Putting them in (morning)

• Hands: Wash and dry them with a lint-free towel.
  
• Order: Always start with the right eye so you do not mix them up.
• Rinse: Rinse the lens with multipurpose solution before putting it in.
• Case: Throw away the old solution, rinse the case with fresh solution and leave it to air dry.

2. Taking them out (night)

• Manual cleaning: Gently rub the lens in the palm of your hand with solution for 20 seconds.
• Rinse: Rinse again to remove dirt.
• Storage: Cover the lens completely with fresh multipurpose solution (approx. 3/4 of the case).
• Disinfection: Leave it for at least 4 hours.
• Maintenance: Replace the case every 30 days.

Our pro tips

• Check-ups: Have an eye check-up at least once a year.
• Expiry: Daily lenses are single-use. Monthly lenses must be thrown away 30 days after opening, even if they have hardly been worn.
  
• Safety: Never use a lens if the packaging is damaged or the lens is torn.
  
• Water: Avoid contact with tap, pool or sea water to prevent infections.
• Make-up: Lenses in before applying make-up; lenses out before removing make-up.
• Environment: Take them out if there are harmful fumes. If this happens, throw them away and rinse your eye with saline.
