Caring for lens and lens cases


      
  For the continued safe and comfortable use of your lenses, it is
  important to follow the instructions given to you by your Eye
  Care Practitioner failure to follow the correct lens care regime
  may result in the  development of serious eye problems.
  Cleaning and rinsing are essential to remove mucus, secretions, and
  deposits which may have accumulated during use. Do this
  immediately after removing your lenses and prior to disinfection.
  Harmful germs can only be removed by cleaning, rinsing and
  disinfecting.
 Use fresh, unexpired lens care solutions.
 Never use solutions recommended for conventional hard lenses only.
 Never put your lenses in your mouth or use anything other than the
  recommended  solutions for lubricating or wetting your lenses. 
  Never rinse them in tap water, since this can contain many
  impurities that can contaminate or damage your lenses and may lead
  to eye infection or injury 
 Put each lens into the correct chamber of the lens storage system
  and make sure they are completely immersed in the storage solution
  when they are not being worn. If lenses left our for long periods,
  they may dry out and become brittle
 Seek the advice of your Eye Care Practitioner if your lenses
  are to be stored for extended periods.
  Since lens cases can be a source of bacteria, after use they
  should be emptied, cleaned and rinsed
  with recommended sterile solutions and allowed to air dry.
 Your lens case should also be replaced regulary, as advised
   by the lens case manufacturer or your
   Eye care Practitioner.
 Never use tap water to rinse your lens case.
