Contact Lens Case

· Clean lens case regularly with contact lens solution

· There is a risk of serious infection associated with use of water in cleaning the case.

· Do not use a damaged lens case

· Replace lens case regularly

Wearing time

· Wear only for the recommended number of days e.g. 14 wears for a fortnightly lens- over wear increases risk or corneal infection which can result in loss of sight or blindness.

· Do not ever wear whilst swimming or sleeping

· Do not ever expose contact lenses to contact with water or saliva

· Do not wear a damaged lens

· If eye red, uncomfortable or blurry, remove lens and see your optometrist immediately.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOUR CONTACT LENSES BE WORN LONGER THAN THE RECOMMENDED PERIOD OR DURING SLEEP.

THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS TO THIS ARE PUREVISION LENSES FROM B&L AND FOCUS NIGHT AND DAY LENSES FROM CIBA AND THEN ONLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU MAY DO SO BY YOUR USUAL CONTACT LENS PRACTITIONER.

CONSULT YOUR EYECARE PRACTITIONER AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS.
