Contact Lenses - Taking Care of Your Eyes
Despite the fact that contact lenses obtained
via the Internet are particularly suitable for non prescription
cases, you should still take great care with them, and seek professional
advice to ensure that your eyes do not suffer from improper use.
If you have poor eyesight already, you may be familiar with contact
lenses and be able to fit them with confidence. If however, your
vision is good, how will you know how to:-
| • |
Insert your lenses into your eyes, and later how to remove
them. |
| • |
Clean your lenses properly |
| • |
Store your lenses correctly |
Each of these points is critical to the long
life of your lenses, but more importantly, to the continued good
health of your eyes. The correct fitting of your lens is important
for your own comfort, because a loose fitting lens will float away
from the eye. A good fitting lens will also help avoid scratching
of the cornea when you try and remove them.
And don't share your lenses with your friends.
A guaranteed way to pass eye infections such as conjunctivitis and
worse between you.
