Proper Care of Contact Lenses

Filed Under Uncategorized |

Hello and welcome back to Contact Lenses Australia Now, the Australians’ one stop internet portal for information about contact lenses. Today we would like to discuss the always important topic of how to properly care for your contacts once you have purchased them.

Proper care of contact lenses is essential to the health of your eyes.  Serious eye infections can result from improper cleaning of  lenses.  Most problems with contact lenses come from not cleaning and disinfecting them.  Lenses must be cleaned and disinfected each time you wear them.

Deposits build up in the contact lens while you are wearing them.  It is essential that you clean your lenses each time you remove them to prevent these deposits from building up. Proteins and lipids from your tears make up the deposits and these proteins and lipids allow microorganisms to cling to the lenses causing your contacts to feel very uncomfortable and can lead to eye infection.

Special cleaning solutions have been developed for contact lenses.  There are solutions available for all types of contact lenses.  These solutions are easy to use.  After using the correct  cleaning solution simply rinse with a sterile saline solution.

Cleaning your contact lenses is not enough to keep infection from occuring.  You still need to make sure you use a disinfectant to make sure all bacteria and other mircoorganisms have been elimanated.  If you fail to disinfect the lens properly, these tiny organisms can get into your eye the next time you wear your contacts.

Check with your eye doctor before changing disinfection systems.  There are many different systems available but only a proffessional will be able to tell you which disinfecting solution is right for your particular type of contact lens.  Some systems may not be compatible and this could result in damage to you lenses or your eyes.
