We can give you the information you need about contacts and how our eye doctors at Norfolk Family Eye Care can support you.

How to Clean and Care for Your Contacts

Cleaning and caring for contacts are crucial to preserving your eye health. But while the importance of cleaning can make caring for your contacts sound difficult, care and cleaning are actually quite simple. Let us take a closer look at what you need to know:

•           Cleaning Contacts: Start by washing your hands to make sure that they are clean, replace the solution in your contact case with fresh solution, place your contact in the palm of your hand and apply some solution over the surface of the lens (using circular motions for at least 15 seconds), rising your contact lens with solution, and then placing it in your clean case overnight. You should also be washing and drying your case regularly so that it does not pose a risk to your ocular health.

•           Caring for Contacts: All you have to do to care for contacts is rinse them regularly, replace your contacts case every three months, and never wear your contacts for longer than intended!

Our eye doctor near you will provide you with instructions so that you can wear your contacts and care for them without fail!
