How to Clean Your Contact Lenses
Always Wash Your Hands: Before handling contact lenses, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them with a lint-free towel to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria to your lenses.
Clean and Disinfect Your Lenses Daily:
- Remove: Remove one lens from your eye and place it in your clean, dry palm.
- Rinse: Apply a few drops of contact lens multipurpose solution (a contact lens solution for cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storing) onto the lens.
- Rub: Gently rub the lens with your index finger in a circular motion for about 20 seconds on both sides to remove dirt, debris, and bacteria.
- Rinse again: Rinse the lens thoroughly with the multipurpose solution to remove any remaining debris.
- Store: Place the clean lens into a lens case filled with fresh multipurpose solution. Leave the lenses to soak for at least 6 hours before using them again.
Repeat this process for the other lens.
